I made this dance for my granddaughter. Her name is Liya.
I choreographed the dance the way I make all my dances - I got inspired by the music because the song has Hasidic and Oriental melodies together, which is unusual.
If the music speaks to me, I create; if the music does not speak to me, I do not create. There is only one dance I created without music, and that is Debka Oud. Most of my dances come from the influence of the music. I do not create for commercial purposes. I create for me. I have been making dances for forty-five years |
