This is taken from a Ramadan 2007 drama series, it's made to look like it took place in the early 20th century.

Looks like a lot of fun, I would have loved to see more especially the dancers full body movements.

I don't think there's any, this is closest to how Syrian women used to dance back then.

Very interesting clip.
Have some similarities with the greek chifteteli style of the same era.
Back then the countries of the east mediterenean had so many things in common, travelling, working, living at other places, the countries borders wasnt as clear as today, so also music and dance was traveling.
was just beautifull
