Wow. I seldom make it through an 8 minute youtube clip, but I watched this 3 times. This dancer has some kind of special quality. I don't know how to explain it, but I find it hard to find inspiration these days, but this did it for me. He is relaxed, precise, earthy, unpretentious. One of the best interpetations of Inta Omri I have seen -- just what the music calls for and nothing more and nothing less.

Yes, it's great, isn't it? Perfect proof that being big and flashy isn't necessary, especially for Om Kalthoum.
