There were various dances going on all around at this wedding: male line dances, groups of various people and children
dancing together, and circles formed around a soloist. I figured the basic male line dance might bore some people as it is
redundant, but the beauty of it lies in its repetitive nature and the comraderie and bonding that you can see, hear and feel. It
will be included in my documentary because it is very special. But for this clip on this website I'm showing one of the soloists.
People took turns getting inside the circle and dancing solo with the encouragement of the group.
Later in the evening (I should say a.m., this wedding didn't start until after midnight) the groom changed from his suit to a
formal galabeya and the bride and groom danced together with a large circle of dancers around them. But the special treat at
this wedding was a 'dwarf' dance. I'm saving that film for my documentary. What is special about the dwarf dance is that it
dates back to Pharonic times when dwarfs were considered good luck and magical, hence why the dwarf was a must at this
wedding--to bring good luck.
