"Ramadan counting down and video of "moi""

Don't loose my Ramadan shows at the magnificent

"NILE MAXIM" and...

Here it is one more of my dance videos. A lot of the dance details get lost due to the low lighting on stage and a so-so camera but I hope you can still enjoy it.
There's also something magic about Oriental Dance that demands the actual physical presence of the dancer and audience to really connect with each other.
Cameras cannot catch what's most important: the dancer's spirit and all her energy and personal charisma transmits and shares with the live audience.

Machines will always be limited as far as human contact is concerned.
