This dance has origins in Egypt and traditional middle-eastern dance ghawazi and raqs sharqi...This is most intoxicating form of female dance the humans have seen... No other dance forms can match the "beauty and sensuousness at the same time" of this form... Even the toughest of man will be floored...
The shabab of a woman (cannot find any suitable english word) is fully expressed through this dance form which captures your senses slowly and subtly but in a very classical way ... of course with arabian/irani music ...which sets up the atmosphere of an oasis in a desert...
A word of warning now!
It does not suit every female...a typical performer must have these...
- She must be tall with good torso and legs
- She must be a woman in mind-and-soul and more of a classical woman. Modern hippie girls who are woman just physically destroy the essence of the dance.
- She must have respect for this dance form
