In one of your vids you spoke about writing diary - do you still write diary ? If yes do you do that daily or several times a week or less ? When did you start writing diary? (: Thanks for answering (-:

I write now and then. These days I have less time for it, so I write when I really need it. :) I believe I started writing in journals when I was in elementary school.

How many languages do you speak? Would you like to learn some?

I perfectly speak and understand both Farsi and English. I can understand a tiny bit of Azerbaijani, since I grew up in a house where most people spoke only in Azeri.
I would love to learn Portuguese, Italian, Spanish... and Elvish. Why not. :P

When is your birthday? And also, would you ever do tutorials for beginner belly dancers?

June 17th, 1992. :)
And yes, I actually am working on putting together a beginner bellydance class to give in a studio in Vancouver. On a separate project, I am also working on an alternative bellydance class where we will be aiming to learn how to incorporate bellydance with alternative, metal, rock and such music.

Can I ask where you bought your long shield ring? I do not know where to look...

I bought it at a random stand inside of a mall. But I'm sure that if you search online for "silver shield rings", you can find some lovely ones.
I can also suggest this designer who I model for. They have some epic designs: http://tinyurl.com/n9m77vf

Do you have unpublished videos older, than july 2013? And what you will do with this? Sorry for my English :)

Of course I do. :) I simply keep them in an external hard drive. Even if I don't upload them, they give me an idea of what I used to do wrong with my techniques, what I have improved on, and what I can still improve on for the future.

Dear Mahafsoun, you have done a lot of improvisations so far and proved that you are doing brilliant... Why have you never planned a choreography/ Why do you prefer improvisations?

Thank you! I just feel more natural doing improvisations. It's more true to the moment... I prefer improvisation to choreography while dancing because it challenges me on another level. I'm not simply repeating steps I've memorized, but creating them as I go in that very moment. It forces me to express myself better. I love it. :)

If money were no object, what tattoo would you get next?

Probably an intricate half sleeve. Something I've been planning to get for some time now.

have you ever thought about dancing with isis wings? it would suit you!

Yes! I am planning to order some in black. I think it would be amazing for a dance video.

How do you deal with haters? I just recorded my first video and other than a few hateful comments I have received no positive feedback...

I don't.
You don't have to deal with them. ;) Being an artist is not about pleasing the few that will never be pleased. It's abut expressing yourself. Keep up the great work and focus on what matters. In no time you will learn that you lose precious time trying to deal with those who don't matter.

Have you ever been to the brink of madness with all the demands you make of yourself?

No, just overworked myself towards exhaustion which led to being hospitalized a few times. Other than that, I love what I do and don't plan to become lazy. I just need to keep a balance between Mahafsoun and resting.

How did the trip to England go, and what did you think of Manchester?

It was wonderful. An amazing experience. Although, very draining. I absolutely hate the process that I have to go through when transferring from one flight to the other, though I understand why they make it so damn hard. It's just frustrating and often annoying, since I carry a lot of electronics with me, and so I am always stopped to be "double-checked". Besides, the TSA people are often some of the worse people you will come across when traveling.
I had the worse one when I landed in London and was trying to catch my flight to Manchester. I felt like the woman was letting all the people through easily, and decided to make it tough for me simply because my passport indicated that I am an "Iranian" who is a citizen of Canada. She made it pretty clear... Though I had enough fun with her before she let me through. :P
Other than that annoyance, everything else was lovely. I stayed in Macclesfield, which was a quiet little place. Different than my beloved Vancouver. A great getaway from the noise and the people.
And the Meet & Greet I held in Manchester went wonderfully. I made some amazing friends and I will never forget that day.

hai :3 .. i just wanned to ask what kind of headphones do you use when you listen to metal?

I use Klipsch headphones. They are light, in-ear headphones. Not sure if they're the best for metal, but I love them and have been hooked for years.

What is one thing you want that you don't have?

MacBook Air. Because I take my only computer (MacBook Pro) to every shoot and collaboration with me, and I'm afraid of something happening to it. I do everything (photo editing, video editing and absolutely everything) on my MacBook Pro. So it would be nice to have a lighter laptop to take with me that won't cost me a fortune if it breaks or if something happens to it.
