Movement as Culture: Dance in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Diaspora

First Shot

The video begins a graphic appearing at the bottom of the screen with both dancer’s names, crews and the flags of their countries with VS and Quarter Final written between them. You can see the dancers on either side of the stage, with a clearly large crowd completely surrounding them, two big screens which read “WORLD FINAL AMSTERDAM” delineating the place and occasion behind them and a man in the center of the screen with a mic. The man on the mic motions for both dancers to come close to him as he says “bring it in.” once they’re on either side of him he says “You’ve been here before, you know what to do” looks at each dancer and asks “you ready?” before loudly shouting “three rounds, lets battle!”
