Egyptian STYLES

Aziyade · 05-15-2007, 08:29 PM

this is not the other thread.

So here's my Q:

I'm going to Richmond for a private with Nashwa. I want to ask her about specific Egyptian kinds of dance. She's done a beledi workshop, and I want to pursue that.

What other kinds of strictly Egyptian STYLES of dance should I know about? I just learned about Iskandarian style. I know of Sharqi, Saidi, Shaabi, and Egyptian Ghawazee (I'm not sure Nashwa knows about that tho)

--what else should I ask about? Any region-specific dance styles? I was wondering about Nubian and Sudanese and I'll ask her about those. What else?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

- Fellahi
- Simsimeya / Bambouteya
- different Bedouin styles
- Haggala (which actually is one bedouin style)
- Dabka (in many countries: Palestinian, Libanese. But in Egypt in North Sinai has dance almost same as Libanese style)
