Randa
Dear Gang,
This is just my educated opinion, but I think perhaps that, like all dancers everywhere, Randa might be going through a growth phase right now, where her usual stuff just feels like she has outgrown it, and she is experimenting with how to move forward. I still see her "Randaness" throughout the clip, but I also see where she is trying on new things, and some of them do not appear from my point of view to work that well, but others look pretty good. In five years we will see what we will see.
I think we sometimes forget that the stars go through the same kinds of agony and ecstacy with their dance that we do with ours, as far as experiencing growing pains.
In her case, we also have to take a look at who her competition is. The ever adorable Soraya and the very flashy and dramatic Esmasan seem to be the biggest fish she is dancing with. Neither one is Egyptian and they both are flashier than her, though not better dancers for sure. She is still my favorite of the modern crop..... and I WISH she had a better costumer, but then, I used to wish the same thing about Suheir Saki!
Regards,
A'isha
