Last week I went with some friends here to a dance concert. The concert was part of a cultural festival held in Doha. It showcased dance groups from around the world—some of the groups were a local traditional drum group, Riverdance (Ireland), Tap Dogs (Australia, US, Canada), Night of the Sultans (Turkey), Yamato (drummers from Japan), Ballet Teatro Espanol (Flamenco dance from Spain), and the German Ballet Company (which in my opinion was neither German nor ballet.)Although the hosts were painfully cheesy and their script was terrible, the dancing was pretty good. We enjoyed the show. Riverdance and Tap Dogs were my favorite. The stage was really cool. It was out on the golf course.
The show was supposed to be the night after our big thunderstorm, but the storm destroyed the stage. They postponed it a night and rebuilt what they could. In some of the pictures, you can see plastic covering the left third of the background. I am amazed they pulled it off in such short time. I have posted more pictures of the night to emilyparks.shutterfly.com
