1. Aw MO,
Brilliant!
"The Dark Knight" has nothing over the "White Knights "(only cinematic reference intended.)
But you were at a slight disadvantage with your white sox vs. Damian's dancing shoes.
But, if you want to drag
politics into this mix,
why not? It's FRIDAY!!!
Loved this piece Mo.

5. That was brilliant Mo-moud!
I really think you should expand this into a full-length musical ensemble featuring George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condeleeza Rice and, of course, the IAEA dancers!
I would also recommend incorporating this little musical number from Saturday Night Live exploring the homophobia hypocracy in Iran:

And Iran... Iran's so far away!

My dearest Mo,
I finally convinced my Mom that I wanted to take ballet (she had been a dancer/singer and didn't think I would like it for some reason)
Our town only had one real dance studio that was WAY too expensive so she signed me up at the community center.
My teacher was 7 months pregnant-to this day whenever I plie I need to pee.

7. hmm, yet another dance by men without hats...

8. I do believe this is my most favorite to date, Mo!
It would take an enriched uranium Red Velvet cake to make me budge....
white socks and high kicks!

9. Aw Mo,
You know me, always the idea man.
I think you should re-shoot this piece with Damian, only one of you dresses up as a carrot and the other dresses up as a stick. You could call the dance something like, oh, "The Carrot and The Stick."
Then, whenever Obama discusses foreign policy concerning Iran, and he uses the term "Carrot and Stick," a hyperlink immediately appears directing the reader to the You-Tube video of your dance.
What say?

12. Mo,
Loved it, especially your dangly 'stache.
Let's not forget that dance helped us pull back the Iron Curtain:
