Hadid's version is called "Dancing Towers" and was unveiled to the public at a retrospective exhibition of the famous British architect at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. It consists of three high-rise buildings for different purposes, connected by a common, almost choreographic "movement".

They will be connected in pairs - the office complex and the hotel on the seventh floor (so that hotel guests can easily get into the conference hall of the neighboring building), and the hotel and residential complex - on the 38th floor, so that both permanent and temporary residents of the Dancing Towers”could use the indoor pool and other services provided by the new structure.

Near the ground and on the top, 65th floor, all three towers are also combined: in the first case, a podium with shops and restaurants, in the second - a restaurant with a panoramic view of the center of Dubai and its embankments.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill have unveiled an 80-story spiral tower that will begin construction in no time. In the official description of the Infinity Tower, the definition of "dancing" is also found. With the same plan of all floors - from the bottom to the top, each will be shifted at a slight angle to the previous one, thus, the position of the first and 80th will differ by 90 degrees. Hence the "wriggling" form of the skyscraper. The 330-meter tower will have 456 apartments, as well as a shopping center with developed infrastructure for residents at the base of the building. Like SOM's other UAE construction, the record-high Burj Dubai, the Infinity Tower will be completed in 2009.

We can only guess what is the reason for such an active use of curved forms and choreographic allusions in the work of architects working for the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Perhaps this is the latent influence of oriental music.
