cause a change in heart rate, etc, in Egyptian dance, it seems like it would be in direct contrast to an aerobic workout, which sustains movement and heart rate for, if I remember correctly, at least 20 minutes. I have a slight heart issue and had to add walking to my exersize because dancing dancing in the Egyptian style is not aerobic. I could be wrong, but to my mind it seems like these two things are in opposition to each other. Can you please explain further?

It constitutes a pleasant exercise, which according to the technique of particular dance, protects the vertebral column from each vibration. It has big factor of combustions (fut burning) and it helps to separate body in all the muscular teams .
With the present exercise, you can learn to isolate and control your body in all subdivisions. It helps in the better balance , strengthen all the muscular web, even teams initiating that are seldom used daily, with an easy and full disposal way.

A'isha writes- This makes sense in and of itself, but I do not see how it is different than strength and weight training, or how it is new.... or how it is aerobic.

Specifically for women, it constitutes a type of exercise of – dance that they can comfortably establish also in their entertainment..
It is a new tendency that will submerge the gyms, the faculties of dance and will give new wave in the space of gymnastics and exercising.
After 12th years of research, of tradition Egyptian dance and movement, for the pre-Islamic Raqsharqi,

A'isha writes- Pre-Islamic raqs sharghi?? What is it?

Mrs Maria Athanassiadou creates the Raqsh obic, so that it becomes popular in the wide public.
The results are spectacular. Students are particularly pleased, of the movements but also of music that is being used (beat - oriental). Also, as long as it goes up in levels, someone can use accessory, as cymbals, stick, veil e.g.. Which help in the intensification of all parts of body and specifically inside of arms.
The first presentation became in the meeting of CONGRESS of Gymnastica in March and June 2006 in Athens- Greece, from the creator Maria Athanassiadou, owner of intellectual rights of Raqshobic . Then, there have been followed other 4 presentations, after demand of instructors of gymnastics.

A'isha writes- Like Yasmine, I am wondering about the name, "Raqshobic".
