The World Bellydance Championship prime tonight kicked off with a song and performance from Lebanese singer Miriam Fares.
Then it was time for the 10 bellydancers to strut their stuff on stage ... So, I'm not going to say how they did, but I'm going to give each one a mark out of 5 ... and it's only my personal opinion as a viewer!
So, here it goes:
Layla from Ukraine - 3
Maria from Lebanon - 2
Maira from Brazil - 4
Malika from Russia - 3
Rana from Lebanon - 3

The next 5 after the jump

Naira from France - 4
Fadwa from Morocco - 4
Poussy from Egypt - 2
Sandra from Syria - 2
Estelle from Costa Rica - 4

So ... that was my opinion ... what did you think of their performances?

Then it was time for another song from Miriam accompanied by the 10 dancers.
As for the unlucky dancer to leave tonight, she's Maria from Lebanon. Hard Luck Maria!
