Dear Gang,
And I think Hala is involved with bringing him to Redwood City, CA on Jan. 26th/27th. You can contact her at haladance.com.
Re the do-woppers: this seems to be a common thing that is done in many of the Egyptian group dances. It looks disorganized to the western eye for sure, but it is a technique ( if you can call it that), that I use sometimes on stage, too, for a group of people in the background. The dancers are there sort of like a live wallpaper and to add color and interest. If you look at a lot of the old movies, you can see similar treatments of groups of women dancing in the background and not all doing the same thing.
Also, I could be wrong, but the girls look western and as if this might be an impromptu addition to the show rather than something that the group rehearsed for weeks together.
Regards,
A'isha
