If it is indeed so, that "Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance" (Pound)...then I am most thankful that Steve Roberts and Ruric Amari have not forgotten this wisdom . Otherwise we wouldn't get to witness moments of pure light like these.
Steve's lovely 'taqusim' on a most untraditional instrument and Ruric's restrained and lovely veil response get 5 stars out of 5 from me. To quote Jaleela Saheem: "A taqusim...is a musician's improvisational solo...It is the dancer's job to use her body to make a visual presentation of that instrument and the emotion the musician is trying to create...Do not over dance the music...the taqusim is a time to dance with feeling and to be unhurried." Is that a smile from Steve at the end?
Wonderful.. !!!I often dance to jazz and classical.. so nice to see this!

wow! Ruric, this is really eyecatching and a totally greater level of beautiful. I wish I saw it live.
Really very moving music...and you danced really "feeling it" and just made the music more and more beautiful.
congratulations!

I can actually say I've seen her perform before, I think she did a turkish number and it was just as lovely as this one. Very talented. :)
