Samia Gamal moves to western dance. Akher saha, 15 december 1954. The dancer Samia Gamal has declared she moves more to the direction of western dance than to oriental dance in her movies because "There is no more change in oriental dance. The same oriental dance repeats in every film but western dance has always a lot of change and creativity". Director Niazi Mostafa agrees with Samia Gamal's opinion and in his new movie ther are three western dances against one oriental dance. Moustafa Niazi also directed "Taxi de l'amour" in 1954 (Taxi al Gharam). It was quite a revolution in oriental dancing and she had to opposite many critics because of that. Until today she remained one of the great innovators of bellydancing.
