Reminds me of Moroccan "trance dances" I've seen in which the movements are very repetitive but at the same time hypnotic. I like it, although it's too aerobic for me to want to do it!

Actually, it is the aerobic nature of the dance that appeals to me. I suspect it is a lot more fun to do than it is to watch- it went on for a very long time with not a lot happening, but that is probably my western impatience showing. I like the costumes- the colorful scarves against the white dresses were beautiful.

I work in a bar with lots of maroccan music and people, and i really love to dance chaabi, it feels so good

IT does look like fun....Sometimes repetition is not a bad thing, if you don't do it everyday.

I saw this moroccan dance style in a movie once, but I can't remember the name... Any ideas?
