Iraqi Dancer's Dreams Cut Short By Terrorism

Adel Euro desperately wanted out of Iraq, and he had a plan. Adel wanted to dance in New York. He heard that Jonathan Hollander, the founder of Battery Dance Company there, had gone to Iraq to work with professional dancers. Adel never went to school for dancing. He learned how to dance from YouTube, mainly breakdancing tutorials and old Michael Jackson videos. He needed to get Jonathan's attention, so Adel made his own video and sent it to him.
