Drum Solo -- Mirah Ammal Posted by: MirahAmmal
Video duration: 408 seconds This drum solo was performed at an event for the Guild of Oriental Dance. Of course some of the small shimmy-vibrations and flutters are a little lost at this resolution, but hopefully you'll get the idea. Thanks to Linda for the video work.

Silly: Al-Bahira Sword Dance as pirates Posted by: MirahAmmal
Video duration: 310 seconds Performed at the 2008 "Spooktacular Hafla" by Al-Bahira Dance Theater. This is a pirate version of a troupe sword dance (somewhat rechoreographed for the event) performed at a Halloween-themed hafla for Aalim School students and friends. We were a little squashed for space front-to-back and the eye patches made it hard to judge distances, so there are a couple of formation oddities.
