Dear Mahmoud, I'm not a dreamer, I'm a realist. I know what the situation is and what it is not.
As for the boy dancers, yes I know of them, I've been seeing them for over 20 years. What they do to back up the dancer is not Sharki, or Baladi. Its very, very bad balletic, jazz. What the boy dancers in the video are doing is something very different. First of all, they are not backing up a dancer, they are backing up the singers and the style of dance that they are doing is real Egyptian Baladi style dance. That is what is new. Not the badly coordinated guys who dance behind Nagwa or whoever.
As for the spirit of your reply, its obvious that for whatever reason, you can't understand what I'm really trying to say. You consistently get it and me wrong every time. I don't know why that is, but whatever..... It is what it is. The real work is to be done in the real world, not here. Tito, Mimo and some of the other guys in Sharam are doing the real work every night. When I do my shows at Salimaniya, Le'Souk, Horus, Kemia, I'm doing the real work in the real world. That's not a dream, that's a reality. But then again, every reality starts with a dream.
Even the computer you're typing on to answer me began as a dream in someone's imagination. The cameras from which you earn your living started as a dream. Even the chair you sit on and the clothes on your back started as a dream. A Black man in the White House was once a dream. Without dreamers, the world we now live in would not exist. But the thing is that we dreamers know it takes real work to make the dream a reality. Tito does his work in Egypt, I do my work here. He is very successful and growing every day, and like me, he's a dreamer who did the very real work to make his dream come through.
