Thanks for the review! I enjoyed reading it.

I have downloaded a demo clip from the IAED website. Here's a translation of the dance numbers in order:

El-Melaya
El-Hagalla
El-Mijwiz
El-Shamaadan
El-Menbouteya
El-Tanoura
El-Assaya
El-Hosan (the horse)
Om El-Khulool

P.S. In case you're wondering about their choice of color coordinated costumes... the theme for the entire show is black, red, white and green, which are colors of the Egyptian national flag.

great clips/links...wonder if they will do the UK?

I watched that clip last night at I loved it too.

What was interesting for me was they did the shamadan to Adalousia music. I've seen this once before in a movie clip but I've also seen it done for Zeffa...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The dabke or el mijwiz was funny hahah

I'm loving the new costumes. They used to have the worst costumes I have seen on a dance troupe.

I think this was shot during rehearsals, not a real show infront of an audience. You can see the musicians talking to each other at the front bottom of the stage.

Eve,

It says on the website they performed a show in Seoul, Korea before heading to the US. I'm not sure if they'll be stopping through the UK on the way back.
