I should declare here that I'm not a purist. I want to dance egyptian style because it blows me away, but I may well do a veil dance without worrying about the fact that egyptians don't. And I don't want anyone to tell me that I shouldn't have done hip ups cos they are turkish or any such. For me egyptian style is almost entirely not about the steps, it's about the flow, the emotion, the way the dancer carries herself, and about the music.
