Thread: Share videos of winning competition routines

I just thought it would be fun to see the routines winning competitions around the world. Share your favorite, or share yours.

I think Evgenia Kopteva won for this performance:

...sorry for the slight hijack...but I am totally distracted from the lovely dancing by Evgenia Kopteva's costume! The skirt moves like a dream! Does anyone know the designer?

Same here. I want one to wear everywhere, always, in all weather, until they find my shriveled husk on the floor. Then bury me in it.

Its rare in the US to see a more Egyptian subtle style win! Is European competitions different?

Hi Toria,

It depends on the competition and the area! First place in this one did go to a more flashier type of dance, but all in all Egyptian style is much appreciated in comps as well.
