Thanks Jenc,
I just saw the one she did at the end as I got distracted with kids!

Farid sings 'Ya awaazil felfilu' which means erm...

The context is, people trying to break up two lovers (awaazil) and Samia is doing 'Du'aa' to say, 'try all you like cos it aint gonna work!'

When Ibrahim Farrah used to use this gesture in a dance, he said it meant "rubbing salt in the wound." The context was always earthy and playful.

I heard years ago --- but can't remember the details -- that the gesture had a very different (and racy!) meaning in Turkish dance. Not sure how valid that interpretation might be...
