Default Egyptian National Folk Troupe

Found this on youtube. It's from Bahrain national TV and the show itself took place in Bahrain. The clip cuts off before the end.





I found another cool video in the 'related videos' section. Sudanese National Folkloric Troupe. I don't know what is going on here, but the title says "bumble bee dance"

Thanks for the great clips- really enjoyable !!!

the 'bumble bee dance' has to be the best title/name of a dance ever

Hahaha! I don't know why they named it as such, but I'm guessing the bumble bee is the annoying man who comes out in the middle of the dance?!?!!

Annoying to the point that it passed my mind that the 'Venus fly trap dance' would be very welcome

Also thanks for the Iraqi national dance troupe clip it the second time I've watched clips of Iraqi dance really love the style.

The Sudany dance reminds me a bit to the air in which the music is interpreted in the Yoruban dance from Nigeria...very interesting...by the way an ethnologyst friend of mine has this theory that the Yoruban Culture is somehow influenced by people that migrated there from the area where Egypt is.

Thanks for posting.
