Moreover, it's worth noting that Amani have three cassettes and a CD in the international markets.  A fourth cassette is on its way to be marketed.

Last, but not least, and for many years now, Amani has been demanding, all alone and without any support from her colleagues, to allow dancers to join the Professional Artists Syndicate. If her efforts are paid off, then she will be imprinting the dancing history as since.

And why not?! it is her slogan in Life :culture, creation, stories, isn't it? When Amani represented Lebanon in an annual festival for oriental dancing, held in Germany, she addressed the audience with the following words: ... I come to you from my small country, Lebanon, to tell you and to prove that art, and especially dancing, hasn't faced a setback or died during the 17 years of civil war and destruction. On the contrary, it was renewed and improved...Hoping you'll visit our country which we are rebuilding today..."

So, well the world open his doors to the Lebanese artistic dancing by way of his Ambassador to the stars...the way of Amani?!
