Pechalat & Bourzat's Egyptian movements are interspersed into this free dance intellegently and right on the spots where it needs to be. This is hard work. The use of their extremities is magnifical and stupendous. Dancing played a vital role in the lives of ancient Egyptians. Even the laborers used to work in rhythmic to the sounds of percussion. So forming the traditional and typical usage of using extremities in a significant way is performing unision symmetrical and dramatic movements. Pechalat and Bourzat integrates these movements in every deep edged transition and change of direction. We are not talking about a few, they are in almost every 5 seconds of this free dance. This makes it internalize
and you taste the essence of this program with Egyptian flavors. This is how you can feel like you are in the theme and when it captures you that's what ice dance is all about. It is choreographed by Kader Belmoktar, she is Egyptian so they wanted to make this right and as it should be. Remember Domnina and Shabalin critisized for offensive aborginal dance which was not their purpose, ofcourse they didn't knew that they were doing something wrong. To execute traditional dances is a bold move. They worked this right and relied on hard work. I always loved Pechalat & Bourzat's innovative approach and to me, they are a synthesis of both modernist and traditionist. Hope to see this routine in its best and see as the 2nd ranked FD of the Worlds.
