Post a Song You'd Like to See Someone Dance To!

I think it'd be fun if we shared songs and people could decide whether or not they want to dance to it, and share it. I know not many would be up to it, but it's a fun idea to try. This song makes my heart melt.

I love that idea. I'm going through my favorite music now to see if there is any I am sadly lacking in performances of.

Great idea!

I LOVE your piece -- I'm not sure I could do it justice, but man it's beautiful!!!

I've danced to it, something about the music makes you need to, I just know I could never express through dance how much that song moves me.

I think I would want to see a solo to it there are some group numbers to it and I have my own choroegraphy, but I'd love to see someone else's interpretation.

My "fantasy steampunk skirt" solo dance I just started to practice for, is to the 60's song "Those Were The Days My Friend" by Mary Hopkins. This song has haunted me since I first heard it as a child and it lends itself well to skirt work.

There's also a rather unknown song by Styx I would like to do a skirt dance to eventually. It has a lot of accordian in it. I think its called "Boat on the River".

Not Middle Eastern songs at all but I still think they're do-able.

I'd love to see someone dancing to 'Maddah El Amar' by Abdel Halim Hafez. It's so beautiful, it makes me feel all shivery. But I don't feel quite up to dancing to it and doing it justice myself yet... Actually, I see there are a few videos on youtube of people dancing to it, but I can't watch them yet because I'm at work

The other song I'm obsessed with at the moment but haven't had an opportunity to dance to myself yet is Esmaouni (originally by Warda, but there's a nice version on Leila Farid's 'Sukara' CD). And another beautiful Abdel Halim one, Mawa'ood, which I'm holding off dancing to because I saw a very moving performance to it by Kay Taylor last year and feel like I'd be sort of in her shadow trying to make my own dance.

Songs I'm obsessed with and have performed to/am going to dance to in the near future myself are Agibni Kulak (Soooo much fun to dance to!) and Enta Omri (my next choreo project)...
