Salah "Entertainer" Benlemqawanssa (born June 28, 1979), also known as Spider Salah, is an award-winning competitive hip-hop dancer from France who won the inaugural season of ''La France a un incroyable talent'' (''France has Incredible Talent'') and the fourth season of ''Arabs Got Talent''. He calls his personal dance style P.A.B.E. which stands for Popping, Animation, Boogaloo, and Effects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dance-book.com/#id=salah )〕 Although Salah is best known for popping, he is also skilled in b-boying. == Career == Salah started dancing in 1996 after he saw the dance crew O Posse practicing their moves in front of the mirrors of the Théâtre national de Chaillot. Two years later, he and his crew The Family won second place at the international b-boying competition Battle of the Year (BOTY) in 1998. In 1999, he joined the contemporary dance company Montalvo-Hervieu. In 2006, Salah won the first season of ''Incroyable Talent''. In 2007, he performed a one-man stage show at London-based Breakin' Convention called "The Dream of Gluby". In 2008, he starred as himself in ''Beats Per Minute'', an independent film about a French popper who discovers he can rewind time with his dance moves. In 2009, Salah served as a judge at BOTY's international one-on-one b-boy battle in Germany. BOTY is a b-boy competition exclusively for b-boy crews; however, to celebrate their 20th anniversary they had a competition for b-boy solo dancers. In 2011, Salah led a digital project called Breathe the Beat. Through Breathe the Beat, he released a series of five video tutorials explaining how he takes inspiration from the world around him to create his P.A.B.E. dance style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://breathethebeat.com/tutorials/ )〕 He also judged an online competition based on the principles of his tutorials to see which dancer could create the best one-minute performance. The winner, chosen by Salah, that created the best routine was James "AnimatedJ" Jimenez from the USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://breathethebeat.com/competition/ )〕 The project also featured a series of roadshows around the UK taught by Brooke and Roxy from Funkstylerz and Plague dance crews.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://breathethebeat.com/about/the-artists/ )〕 After Breath the Beat, Salah toured North America from October 2011 to October 2012 as a featured dancer in Cirque du Soleil's production ''Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour''. In 2013, Salah became a brand ambassador for Puma. Through this partnership, Puma launched a dance project called "Puma the Quest" that gave five dancers the opportunity to travel the world and be personally mentored by Salah. The street dancers were chosen from hundreds of video submissions which were narrowed down to a core group of 20. The core group had to perform live in front of a panel of judges including singer Nawell Madani, rapper Youssoupha, and Salah himself. The five winners—Lara Laquiz, Tiet Sofian, Steph 2SL, Anto, and b-boy Ska—were announced the following day at the Juste Debout 2013 finals. They traveled with Salah to New York City, Berlin, Tokyo, Paris, London, and Los Angeles to learn about the street culture within each city. When they returned to Paris they created a show about their experience around the world.〔 In December 2013, Salah appeared on ''La France a un incroyable talent'' again in a one-time special called ''La Finale des Champions'' (''The Finale of Champions''). Three months later in March 2014, Salah served as a judge on the Canal J kids television show ''Battle Dance'' with singer Sherefa Luna and b-boy Ali "Lilou" Ramdani. In 2015, Salah won the fourth season of ''Arabs Got Talent''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salah (dancer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
