Thanks for sharing.

If you want to know more about them type this into youtube or google: الفرقة القومية العراقية للفنون الشعبية
There are a few other clips posted on youtube but the resolution quality is terrible you can barely see what the dancers are doing.

About Reda: I have no idea, sorry. Maybe someone else would know.
