Each Rhythm 🥁in Oriental Dance is like a friend! When they appear in the song I recognize their character, their mood, where they’re coming from. Each part of the song or composition holds a different part of the story. This is what makes oriental dance so deep and complex, why I never get bored unless I stay with only with songs that are too simple, ( pop songs for example). I love to vary between difficult and challenging songs like classics and Megance perhaps Baladi, and folklore from egypt, the Khaleej or Iraq and easier ones like drum solo and pop, Shaaby! With the appearance of each rhythm comes the joy of meeting a friend. Why would a dancer not want to know the names of their closest friends in dance? Come learn with me on Thursdays at 7 pm.
