Stunning! She truly embodies the nuances of the music and becomes one with it. Brava!

Re: Orit Taksim. You must save it to your favs.

this is so amazingly timely!! Orit is one of my all time favorites and I'm performing this song (Leyla) for Leila of Cairo tomorrow. I'm so tickled that she's incorporating the same Samia-inspired arms and chifti elements (this was a Samia/Farid Al Atrache song) . THANK YOU for posting!

Which proves again that you don't have to run around stage like mad to be an entertaining dancer!

Now wait, I have to watch more Orit videos!

Re: Orit

I really have to say that Orit is the MOST inspiring Dancer of this century. When I watch her I really feel as though I am seeing "HER" not some conjured personna that was created for the purpose. Whether that is true or not, I do not know. I see new information being created and innovations being presented every time I see a video of her. Sometimes I think that she might over complicate a series of phrases but I always remind myself of my own will to improve and innovate, to correct an over indulgence. Her sense of humor and how she delivers that is beyond my ability to describe. I have watched some famously "witty" dancers (Aunty Rocky for one) and Orit can and does communicate her jokes and frivalities with grace and silliness, a quality that so few dancers have today.

Orit has the ability to reach out to her audience and bring them in giggling with joy. I have always strived for that in my own performances and I am, with out a doubt, a willing student of this dancer Orit.

Thanks for your indulgence for this comment on Orit.

"real"ly silly dancer

Re: Orit Taksim. You must save it to your favs.

She has quickly become one of my favorite dancers, based on nothing but youtube clips!!!

That violin taksim was a high point, even for her. Thanks so much for sharing this clip!

It's always a pleasure to share great dancing here b/c I know there are others like me who find joy in these clips.

Re: Orit Taksim. You must save it to your favs.

Just lovely. I always enjoy watching her dance... this costume is GREAT too!!!

(had to giggle at the typical drummer behaviour at the beginning - yapping to other musos then eventually realising "oh! I better come in and play somthing..." LOL!)

Re: Orit Taksim. You must save it to your favs.

Delicious! I hadn't seen this gorgeous clip -- thanks for posting it, Michelle!

Weird: I'm having trouble finding this song in my library, though I know it has to be here somewhere. Does anyone know if it goes by any other names? Got a favorite version on CD or iTunes (or elsewhere) to recommend? TIA!

Re: Orit Taksim. You must save it to your favs.

I think it's Raksit Eljamal or Rakit Elgamal - written for Samia, but I'm having a hard time being sure this morning.

*ETA, no, I don't think that's it, but what song it is is escaping me. I'm going crazy trying to remember the name of this song!!*
