Perfectly lovely.

Love it. Inspires me how they make the movement accents with that amount of cover.

Nesrin and Dalia are dancing over here.
This is from Reda's choreo's vol 1 DVD, and I just love this choreo, it have an elegant taste (even if Reda's style is not 100% my favorite) we can always learn things

Dear Group,
The important thing to remember when watching Reda's group is that his dances lift a few movements from authentic folkloric dance, combine them with balletic concepts in stageing, and in covering stage space, add blocking techiques from western stage productions, and then add what I call Reda-isms. I like the effect very much and occasionally stage Reda style pantomimes and dances in my shows.
Regards,
A'isha

It's pretty, if a little stylized. Is that really a rather simple routine? Because it's seems so but I know a good dancer can make difficult things look easy.

Dear Kharmine,
Most of what Reda creates is not difficult from the movement point of view. It is, however, difficult to create the right spirit and essence of what he is doing, which is the really important part of his work, I think. He is often able to retain an innocence in his work, that does in fact resemble a part of the Egyptian spirit. Innocence is maybe not just the right word, but there is a beauty of spirit in most of the Egyptians that I have met that is rather indescribable...???
