Thanks so much to all those who came out and supported me! It was very encouraging!

Thanks! I saw another dancer perform to this song. It was very graceful and it inspired me, so about a year or so later I decided to perform to it myself! I'm glad you liked it!

Aw, thanks! I sometimes think the same thing. I think sometimes those from the middle east have a hard time accepting how popular this dance is - and how good American dancers are. It's ironic, but when you think about it makes sense. We have so many resources available to us, so many ways and opportunities to learn.

Actually, I think that the way to judge a song is by its rhythm. This song has wonderful rhythm and beautiful sound. I was inspired by it, and that is what counts in the end. That's what makes a good performance. I'm sorry you did not enjoy my selection of music, but I did, and clearly the audience did as well.

Hi! Thanks for your constructive comments. I'm glad you liked it. This is actually from a while ago, and my isolation have gotten so much better than then that looking back on it makes me cringe sometimes lol. And good critique! I'll think about that in the future. :) Thanks again

Hi there Please keep in mind that this is YouTube, and depending on your connection, the video can lag. :) On most computers, and in the original video I'm perfectly on beat.

However, thank you at least for the last comment, I do very much appreciate it. Like it or not, we Americans don't understand everything we should, but we do try. And you know, you don't understand our culture either. I, too am not here to argue, but it hurts my feelings that you didn't have anything nice to say about my performance. I like that song. If you don't, that's your personal opinion. Here in America we have a saying "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".

@simplicitykitty I would welcome any specific critiques about things you didn't like :) However I feel like maybe you didn't watch the whole video - this was structured improvisation and if you watch, certain elements of the chorus and bridges are choreographed in a way that I feel fit the music. If it is not to your taste, perhaps check out one of my more recent videos! :) Also, I had a broken toe . . . it was a bit distracting. ;)
