What is Egyptian Dance?

Often referred to as Egyptian belly dance, also known as Raqs Sharqi, is a captivating and vibrant dance form that originated in Egypt. It is characterized by its fluid, graceful movements of the hips, torso, and arms, accompanied by intricate footwork and intricate hand gestures. The dancers wear vibrant, flowing costumes, adorned with beads, sequins, and coins, which enhance the visual appeal of the performance. Egyptian dance is not only a form of entertainment but also a vehicle to inner-self, a celebration of femininity and self-expression. The music that accompanies the dance is usually a combination of traditional Arabic instruments, such as the oud and darbuka, creating a rhythmic and melodic ambiance. With its rich cultural heritage and mesmerizing movements, Egyptian dance continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
