Raqia Hassan's Ahlan wa Sahlan festival made it to CNN. I thought it was an interesting news bite, and overall pretty positive compared to how oriental dance is usually portrayed by the media:

The Ahlan wa Sahlan dance contest mentioned caught my attention because the winner was Bozenka, the dancer that A'isha and Moon were discussing on a thread on the old forum site just a few days ago. Here's a clip, and clips of the second and third place dancers:
First place dancer (Bozenka from US)

Second place dancer (Natalia Kurashko, Russian?)
