Nights For the third year in a row Siri Ydstie has arranged the belly dance festival in Oslo, Norway. The festival began with a show at Oslo Concert Hall, and this year's guest star was Lulu Sabongi from Brazil, who opened this year's show. |

| I
thought Margrethe's show was captivating. It was gratifying to
see so many different styles and dancers like Margrethe, a woman
in her prime, and perhaps the first belly dancer in Norway. We
could see styles like Tribal, which is very new in Norway, American
style veil dancing, and more. |

| In my opinion, one of the highlights of the show was Adryanna Shamsa dancing with Cheb Hocine's singing. It was as if sparks were flying between them, you could see how much they enjoyed accompanying each other on stage. |
