While you're waiting for the Thrill Cam image to load, we thought you could amuse yourselves with a little Zalzali trivia. The image usually takes several minutes to load - we'll understand if you can't stick around that long. {sniff!}

Zalzali Trivia
While U Wait

Zalzali means "earthquake" in Arabic.

Zalzali's first performance was at the Mediterranean Fantasy Festival in 1992.

Zalzali's original name was the Shalwi Dance Duo. Ask us sometime, and we'll tell you why that was such a bad idea!

Between them, Zalzali has 2 cats (all Elisa's), 5 children (all Hasani's) and 3 tattoos (all Elisa's).
               UPDATE! Offspring tally - Hasani: 5    Elisa: 2!!!

Elisa cut her foot on stray glass beads the first time she ever danced to live music.

Hasani was wearing an unfinished costume the first time she ever danced to live music!

Elisa's favourite lipstick colour is Diva by MAC. Hasani's is 524E by Wet 'N Wild.

Zalzali once used a coat rack as a dance prop.

Zalzali swears by Hermes Dance Sandals! Go get yourself a pair!

Zalzali's Official Motto - "We dance, therefore, we are."

Zalzali's Unofficial Motto - "If they notice the pin in your belt, you must not be moving your butt right!"

Hasani broke her thumb onstage once. Elisa broke a nail onstage once!!

Zalzali's fastest choreography took just 10 minutes to write. The longest one took 2 months.

Zalzali's heaviest costume weighs 9 pounds, 4 ounces. We could have sworn it weighs more.

Hasani owns 4 swords and 2 daggers. Elisa owns 4 hairpieces and one full wig!
               UPDATE! Fake hair tally - Elisa: 1 wig and 4 hairpieces    Hasani: 1 wig, 7 hairpieces, and some nifty hats!

Zalzali once filled their entire dance spot with 8 minutes of drum solo. Zalzali pleads temporary insanity.

And now.....
Zalzali does the Ejector Seat ride at the Western Washington Fair:

Notice Hasani is still in costume from an earlier performance, and is wearing her "No Barf" button from the Gyro Ride.

Can you pick the frame where Elisa is saying "Oooohh, I feel like I just swallowed a bunch of pond water!"?
