This is a piece from a performance by Laurel Ballet in Greensburg, PA. If you would like to see some better examples or know more about the company, check out “A History of laurel Ballet” here on youtube.
Yeah who are these guys? Dance not very arab.. costumes are nice but i wish you could see more clearly. SF Ballet (2007)
had a GREAT arab nutcracker piece looked very eastern!!
You’re quite right. I never thought about the a**holes here who might do these things. Maybe that’s because I’m an old guy who lived when the world was still a decent place for all. Sure, there are still lots of decent folks about, but the jerks have sadly multiplied. But I never put down the dancers themslves, BTW. I think they did a fine job.
How rude, this is obviously someone’s hard work and who cares if it’s not technically perfect. also any young girl on YouTube should NEVER give out her locations unless she wants stalkers.
I wish folks who post videos to YouTube would be a little more detailed at times. For instance, who are these guys? What company are they with? What country? Are they professionals or students? I agree with badfeet. We saw more of the back of the conductor’s head than the dancers! Badly shot video!
I love the arabian, I like our guy/girl version better mostly cuz’ it’s got a whole puppet/master thing going but this one was really neat too. Hate the costume though it really REALLY hides her body and I think that takes away from the sensuality of the arabian dance.
Wonderful, I have never saw that dance done with a male and a female, we preformed The Nutcracker with Moscow and the people that did that dance were two girls that did the same thing, one after another. But the male female thing was working great in the video, they were in control of the lifts and things.

this is very different, but i luv the partnering stuff. beautiful lifts, but the costume is hideous. can’t see her strong legs in the arabesques!
