Re: Post Your Favorite Performance Video.
Sorcerer541:
Although Suhaila is certainly graceful and beautiful in it, this montage does not show the dance as all it can be, because it is overdubbed: it doesn't show her dancing to the original music she was dancing to in all those performances.
This, IMO, is a huge injustice to the dance, because the whole purpose of the dance is to interpret each nuance of the music, not merely sexy moving that happens to co-occur with pretty background music. Or in various other people's words, oriental dance is:
music made visible
visual melodies
the visual poem that overlays the music
the physical and emotional manifestation of the music
etc.
Each movement she does in the montage is a very specific interpretation of a melodic note or percussive beat in the original music she was dancing to, and all that is lost in the overdub.
If you like Suhaila, I would suggest watching videos of her performances that are not overdubbed.
