SYNOPSIS

Abdullah is twelve years old and lives with his family in Frankfurt (Main), Germany. They migrated to Germany seven years ago as Syrian refugees. In Syria, dancing is a normal thing, and Abdullah started belly dancing as a little boy. A little of that style is still perceptible in his street dance. Music is for dancing, he says. If he didn't move to the rhythm, he would feel like wasting the music.
