Hello every body,

This is a performance by Asi Haskal doing parody, I don't know what it is all about and would be thankful if somebody could interpret the music.

Thank you.

Wishing you all a happy new year........

It is very nice indeed, I really enjoyed it. I also would like to know what is it all about.

I haven't a clue what's going on - but the hilarity still comes through! I love his armwork...

Well, I got the music box dancer joke with Fur Elise, and I was highly entertained by the Hungarian Dances of Brahms, and I wish very much I could understand what he was saying. Thanks, Dipali!

but still mystified though. Was that a Dina parody somewhere in the middle, with the finger gestures? (ewwww!!)

Since no one has ever done a comic belly dance without a Dina parody, of course it was there!

My funny bone doesn't need a translation...it's nice to see that Oriental dance can be fun and funny too!

Silly me, of course, must be some sort of unwritten law.

The parody is mostly on Israeli dancers and Dina

I'm not familiar with all the dancers in question and the sound in the clip is sometimes too loud to figure out what exactly he is saying, but here's my take on it.

First Asi demonstrates how a belly dancer would dance to a Western classical music.
The he imitates Tina, an Israeli dancer and teacher (opens his mouth like a fish and shoots all over the place).
Next is Fifi (I assume it's the Israeli Fifi Ness).
Then Dina, with the finger in the nose and the thong.
Then Elina Pechersky, an Israeli dancer who founded a certification program in Wingate Institute (Israel's National Center for Physical Education and Sport). Asi holds a "certificate" that says "I'm a bellydancer".
Then Orit Maftsir.
And the last one (and my favorite) is Avigail Klein . Avigail has a stand-up/bellydance show that's called "On Full Stomach"(check out the Bellylaugh video), and Asi does a great job imitating her drum solos .
