I'm getting VERY interested in Egyptian culture, beautiful. Egyptian men are the most beautiful and the women are gorgeous. I envy the culture and beauty that is Egypt. I mean I'm proud of my japanese/italian heritage but Egypt is amazing.
all muslims that call him gay need to open their eyes and see his talent.you people are so in the dark ages its unreal.he aint no more of a disgrace to allah than the inbreds,killers (9/11, london and and the others) , benefit cheats,fraudsters,and you fuckers that judge him , let his creater do that not you allah made him to dance so let him fucking dance,for fuck sake
@dionsanchez24@dionsanchez24 take it easy ... u like him others dont! nothing to do here with Islam! i can say the same and relate whats happening to the world to Christians ! things doesn't work this way!! yes he is talented and good dancer!!!
@SuperMnada well i wasnt talking to YOU im talking to the people on here talking about how he is a disgrace to allah. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME HAVE MY SAY,
To any of you males calling him gay you need to shut the fuck up. He is not only a talented dancer, his movements are very sexy to a woman. Women LIKE when a guy can move his hips sensually. It means he could probably move his hips like that in bed. Don't be jealous you homophobic morons.
im not judging or anything.. but is he gay? ive never seen a man belly dance.. just out of curiosity.. but i gotta say, gay or straight. this guy OUTDID every belly dancer out there! PURE TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
@barbii3dollx3 No he's not gay. He's married and has 3 kids. This danceis really unisex. If you go to weddings in Egypt, especially theworking class and rural areas you'll see that men and women dance. Its just that in the 20th century dance shows bcame a female thing because of the tourist trade. Most of the audience was and still is male in those clubs. Tito is unusual only because he's the first man in moden times to do it professionally instead of only for fun like most guys.
@barbii3dollx3 Exactly. All you ver see in the media are professional female dancers. Most people don't realize that it only represents 1% of all the dance activity in that part of the world. The other 99% is happening in the homes and its learned by immitation and assimilation and done by both sexes. So much to discover enjoy the journey.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 Yes very true! My uncle is Arabic and I remember his and my aunts wedding and the men were dancing like this. At first I thought it was just a humorous thing they were doing becuase like I said we're all used to seeing women dance like this so it was a bit confusing. After seeing Tito, I learned more about it and of course thanks to you! :)
Tito you are amazing.. I love you... who cares what everyone says... if they think belly dance is for men, then they should say the same thing about the Ballet.. men can be graceful and manly as well.
And to the comment above; dance is genderless, what does it matter whether he dances like a man or woman? The point of dance is movement, rhythm, timing and music that's all that matters.
Mashalla, not only loved it but I got a work out myself, this guy is awesome, belly dancing is an art, it doesn't matter who does it as long as they have the talent to do it.
therefore, if any body is "offended" or finds it akward, please, please just don't watch it.
hmmmm... very good musik and enthusiastik danser. look up eskimo dancing and kompare the difference. what a kontrast, det glade meg at treffes dem!! Takk!
I never get tired of watching this video. What i like the most in Tito is that he's not only an excelent dancer, but he dances like what he is: a man. He doesn't pretend to be a woman. He's coming to my country, and may God i can be there to learn from him.
@weykapuy makes me think of male dancers that do it for the dancing. Patrick Swayze, american actor was a dancer before acting. Male ballet staris and guys who dance for Broadway and such. I like it too this guy is not a prissy dancer trying to show off.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 Neither. They dance on stage and move their hips and all, but we can differentiate between being "funny" and serious. They sometimes imitate women while dancing to arouse laughter-because we know they're men not women u know and that no matter how hard they try they wont do it exactly like women, they dont have the required bosom or bottom lol, then they get back to their own way of dancing.
@nefertoto I understand where you're coming from, but I've seen both sides in Egypt.I've seen the guys who joke around, but then I've also seen the guys who dance full out out of joy. Thing is with Egyptian dance, there always is a sense of humor about it. I've seen some middle aged cab drivers in Cairo who can dance so good they put anyone to shame and they are not doing it as a joke. Its just a spontanious expression of joy.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 I could definitely imagine those cab drivers dancing in the streets any Egyptian man would do that if they have the enough enthusiasm no matter how young or old they are, I love to see men dancing! even when they dance like women, like Hakim I suppose u know him, but out of fun - plain humor. I know that trainers of all famous female dancers were men, and act as back ups behind female dancers that's all usual.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 but this guy, he's serious about it and never dance like an Egyptian man in this performance. Most people here will be surprised, will laugh, at the end they will feel disgusted. I'm not sure why men like him do that, maybe because some people are so poor they would do anything to make a living, and maybe because people are becoming less flexible, they would oppose a female dancing so sensually, so organizers of hotels and weddings bring men like that one!
You know history goes in cycles. 150 years ago it was not unusual to see men performing professionally in Egypt and pother countries in the region. Things began to change in the 20s with the glamorous new night clubs and the evolution of what we recognize as Sharki. That's when it became exclucively female and they adopted the fantasy 2 piece costume. Believe it or not I just saw this guy perform tonight, I know him personally. I'll explain a little more.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 trust me, I'm Egyptian and the impression of most of us about men dancing PROFESSIONALLY like WOMEN.. is disgust.. being religious isnt one of the reasons though. and i bet that the tourists from the gulf after the party will say that Egyptian men are gay, although I know that Tito and anyone like him isnt gay, well not necessarily gay.
Well the truth is that if you're a dancer male or female in Egypt you're screwed no pun intended. If you're a woman inti sharmuta if you're a guy inta khawal. They just cant win. This is why artists in Egypt tend to stick to their own kind. Thing is you bring up a very important point and that is dance for the most part is seen as enjoyment or even play. But its considered an intimate thing you do with close friends and family. To do it in public is like your mom going to the store in her nighti
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 you could say saqita or 3ahira about a woman, and shaz about a man. I'm sorry but the 2 words you said are really offensive especially when u talk to a woman. you're a bit extreme at that, men dancing anywhere in Egypt is totally acceptable, as long as it's not very "gayish".
My bad I assumed you were a guy :-P My only objection to male Oriental dancers is when they try to act sexy like a woman or when they're so fem you don't know if your looking at a man or a woman. I know that as performance of course everyone is use to seeing women but a guy can perform and still be a guy just like when you see guys dancing for fun or even when the passion hits them they still carry themselves like guys. A male dancer shouldn't look like an ugly woman :-O
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 dancing costumes, goodness! Paris runway is nothing compared to it, i hope u know the saidi costume too watch from 2:54 till the end watch?v=_vwyeX5r-GE some of them have more gold and it's all awesome.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 for women.. from children to maybe 26... single actually is what i mean.. maybe it's not really acceptable.. could somehow harm her "reputation".. this mentality took over the Egyptian only by the 80s by the way or a bit earlier. but after all we still think: "oh let the girls be happy" and it's all fun again, as long as she's not dancing sensually. so no, you're a bit extreme at that.
What I mean is for a woman to go on stage with it. At a wedding when the family is there its no problem, but to do it infront of strangers on stage, that's when it become a problem. And honestly I don't think the costume helps, even though some of them are works of art to rival anything on a Paris runway. I prefer whenthey wear elegant dresses and gowns because then you can watch the art of the thing and not be distracted. But in any case i believe its 1 of the great world dance forms.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 oh, a woman dancing professionally? sure, that's a problem for her :D men dancing MALE dancing professionally, socially it's not a great position u know but at least people wont think he sells himself. all in all, it's sad what some Egyptians do to entertain tourists, they would do ANYTHING!
Even with the new modern style that developed in the 20's and 30's men were involved behind the scenes. They choreographed. Nagwa Foud and many top dancers had male choreographers Naima Akef's cousin Ibrahim was very famous and taught Fifi and Dina. In the late 60s the dance began getting popular in the west and once again many teachers were men. Little by little men began to peform once again. Now with Tito, what happened was due to the growth of female tourism in Sharem.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 now the bad thing about that, that many men are dancing like tito and the real Egyptian male dancing, u know MALE dancing with sticks or without is disappearing. dancing is at it's best when a female dancer dances like a woman with a male dancer dancing like a man, especially the upper Egypt way.
Its not dying out at all. Its very much alive as it ever was. Even Tito dances with the stick. In fact he dances with 4 sticks watch?v=zd553DGRO5w. In the Said when they do it for real they also move the hips watch?v=rom9yco-CW4. And they always dance with their hips not just the stick watch?v=34hchkLCAVs
The shows where there are male oriental dancers are are always part of a larger folkloric program. They start with Tanoura the Saidi Nubian Fallahi Debka then femal sharki and male then both
But you know when all is said and done this won't change anything because people who like these types of shows will go see it and people who don't will go other places. Personally I enjoy watching the ordinary people dance out of pure joy than I do watching the professionals on stage. It hurts me when I see the women making the dance all about whose got the biggest implants because to me the dance is ultimately the soul of the people and all that stuff doesnt really reflect that reality
You do have a point. Its still looked down as a lowclass thing to do, but he can always prove himself by the life he lives. A woman much harder although certain dancers like Sohair zaki seemed to have been able to avoid scandal and suspicion. There is a range though in entertainment establishments. I think the best are the family oriented places in Sharem only thing is the quality of dance is sometimes weak. The lowest end are the clubs of Harem they depress me. :-(
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 in terms of class, soheir in nothing compared to samia gamal!! she's got class, in interviews she speaks and dresses like a princess! problem with female dancers is that, most of them do have bad reputation, scandal of Dina is only an example. lets face it, most dancers dance out of poverty, all they want is to make a living and their only wish is to stay home instead of having drunk men eating them with their eyes. except for dancers who reach fame and start appearing on TV
You've just summed up the situation perfectly. Most of them are driven to dancing out of sheer poverty and desperation, not a concept of artistic expression, but then again, most people forget that even in the West the concept of being an entertainer strictly for artistic passion is a rescent thing. It was always economics and poverty. Even ballarinas 60yrs ago were considered the same way dancers in Egypt are today. Your right, most of them want to be home not in public
They wanted to see guys dancing. At first they started by having informal dances on the beaches. Tito had a folk group in Sharem and of course he did the choreography. People began finding out about him and word soread about how good he was and so he was approached to perform. I knew about him way before this time. I've been to Sharem and now its popular to see guys performing Sharki, but they still have the female dancers as well and they always do a duet male and female together.
I was very interested to see who made up the audience. Turns out that most of the crowd is actually Egyptians on holiday and gulf tourists. The audiences are very appreciative and they go there specifically to see them. Tito isn't there anymore, but there are some new guys now and they are very well liked. What I will say is this those venues tend to be family oriented places and relatively inexpencive. Much better environment than the clubs on Haram in Cairo.
There are no professional male Sharki dancers in Cairo yet, but the popular thing now at the weddings is to have a ra'asa and then the singer comes with a troup of 20 or 30 guys who dance back up and then go out into the audience and dance in the the crowd. The way I feel about it is that I don't like to see a professional male dancer dressing like a woman or trying to be seductive. You are righ a man would never be able to be a woman so as long as he does't cross that line I look at the talent
You've probably been asked this question already, but lol!
What's the name of this song? It's amazing. I can feel the music and imagine myself doing a piece of my own. May I know? Thank you for this and showing guys can be belly dancers too!
Awwwwwwwwwwesome! No way can you not be affected by his absolute joy in dancing! Probably watched most of the YouTube videos of Tito now and really think he's incredible. Next step - check where he is performing and go and see him live! Woo hoo!
@MizRoxy2005 I'm so sorry you didn't say this a few months ago. He was just in Atlanta GA. I know he's going to be in New York in October though. If I hear he'll be in Florida I'll let you know.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 - thanks but I'm not in Florida. Actually live in Europe. I was checking for appearances in Egypt but have not managed to find anything on the net.
@MizRoxy2005 Oh then chck out the Nile Goup Festival in Cairo. I don't think he performes in Egypt any kore becaus he travls so much, but he does perform at tis festival. I believe its held in June.
Patti i signed up on here just to reply to you. This is NOT permissable in the quran. Don't confuse arabs with islam, there are christian arabs too. Islam teaches ppl to cover up etc but there are other muslims who dance. Even muslim women are not allowed to do this let alone men. People do this out of their own interest, it has nothing to do with islam and islam prohibits men and women to do this sort of thing.

@MsDreams01 There is nothing in the Koran that speaks aginst dancing. Dancing has nothing to do with Islam persay, but neither do many human activities. CAn you show me anywhere in the Koran where it says people should not dance? As I said before, it all depends on the intent. Once upon a time some people thpugh playing chess was against ISlam because it distracted from prayers etc. So if dancing is haram what about sports like soccer, boxing, body building etc are these also haram?
What a dycotomy . .the Arabic people seem to be very modest in their apparel and conduct . .like the burkah-wearing women, etc. and yet they allow Belly Dancers in scantilly dressed, almost porno -styles, and the men who participate in these dances are excessively sensual, provocative, and it all seems perfectly acceptable in the same culture . . I am absolutely confused, and confounded.
@Patti129able There is nothing in the Koran that speaks against dancing. If he were using dance as a front for other activities like drugs or some sort of crime, then that would be an issue.
@MrSmsm007 Its a legitimate part of Egyptian culture. Everyone dances, men women and children, where have you been? The only thing he's doing different is he's doing it on stage, but go to any wedding in Egypt and you'll see men dancing Raks Baladi, and not just in Egypt but all of North Africa, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and all the other countries in the area where this type of dancing had spread. There is no place in the East where only women dance, except on stage for tourists.
@6969aaaaa hey i know that iam Egyptian my name is islam but iam wondering from the way he dance he is a clever man he is dancin better than women lol
@MrSmsm007 I got you. Its just that most non Egyptians have no idea about what the real dance is all about. they have a fantasy so when they see a guy dancing, they often misunderstand. I'll say one thing for Tito though, he's got balls. Its one thing to dance at a wedding with your friends for fun, its something else to get up on stage when the datage has been an exclusively female domain for almost 100 years. There's lots of guys in Egypt better but they don't have the guts to do what he does
@7lwanyi dear friend, thank you. I was patiently waiting my turn, but the dog was busy with you're mother. I waited as long as I could, but I had to leave. Please tell your mother to let me know when she's finished if she would be so kind. By the way, I think the dog she's fucking now is a far better choice than the donkey she was fucking 9 months before she gave birth to you. Anyway, have a pleasant day and don't forget to say hi to your mom for me.
@7lwanyi Oh my god I can't stop laughing! Listen, before you try to insult me learn how to speak English! I'm going to send this to all my friends so they can have a good laugh too. This is too special!
@moulinalo - no he isn't necessarily gay. I've seen several male belly dancers who I think are actually better than the female dancers. Amazing muscle control. Belly dancing has become sexual to suit tourist taste.
Tito, what you do is art and beauty!!! That's what matter!! You are great ,fabulous and very much handsome!!! please keep spreading the culture of belly dance and showing to the world that it's for everyone!!!! and keep breaking prejudices and fighting the power!!!!!! kisses from Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!

@weykapuy makes me think of male dancers that do it for the dancing. Patrick Swayze, american actor was a dancer before acting. Male ballet staris and guys who dance for Broadway and such. I like it too this guy is not a prissy dancer trying to show off.

I'm Egyptian and just wanted to let you know that men dancing is usual in Egypt, but this feminine way of dancing is not by any mean usual here!
nefertoto 1 year ago
@nefertoto What do you mean by feminine? Do you mean because he's dancing on stage or because he's dancing with his hips?
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 Neither. They dance on stage and move their hips and all, but we can differentiate between being "funny" and serious. They sometimes imitate women while dancing to arouse laughter-because we know they're men not women u know and that no matter how hard they try they wont do it exactly like women, they dont have the required bosom or bottom lol, then they get back to their own way of dancing.
nefertoto 1 year ago
@nefertoto I understand where you're coming from, but I've seen both sides in Egypt.I've seen the guys who joke around, but then I've also seen the guys who dance full out out of joy. Thing is with Egyptian dance, there always is a sense of humor about it. I've seen some middle aged cab drivers in Cairo who can dance so good they put anyone to shame and they are not doing it as a joke. Its just a spontanious expression of joy.
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 I could definitely imagine those cab drivers dancing in the streets any Egyptian man would do that if they have the enough enthusiasm no matter how young or old they are, I love to see men dancing! even when they dance like women, like Hakim I suppose u know him, but out of fun - plain humor. I know that trainers of all famous female dancers were men, and act as back ups behind female dancers that's all usual.
nefertoto 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 but this guy, he's serious about it and never dance like an Egyptian man in this performance. Most people here will be surprised, will laugh, at the end they will feel disgusted. I'm not sure why men like him do that, maybe because some people are so poor they would do anything to make a living, and maybe because people are becoming less flexible, they would oppose a female dancing so sensually, so organizers of hotels and weddings bring men like that one!
nefertoto 1 year ago
You know history goes in cycles. 150 years ago it was not unusual to see men performing professionally in Egypt and pother countries in the region. Things began to change in the 20s with the glamorous new night clubs and the evolution of what we recognize as Sharki. That's when it became exclucively female and they adopted the fantasy 2 piece costume. Believe it or not I just saw this guy perform tonight, I know him personally. I'll explain a little more.
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 trust me, I'm Egyptian and the impression of most of us about men dancing PROFESSIONALLY like WOMEN.. is disgust.. being religious isnt one of the reasons though. and i bet that the tourists from the gulf after the party will say that Egyptian men are gay, although I know that Tito and anyone like him isnt gay, well not necessarily gay.
nefertoto 1 year ago
Well the truth is that if you're a dancer male or female in Egypt you're screwed no pun intended. If you're a woman inti sharmuta if you're a guy inta khawal. They just cant win. This is why artists in Egypt tend to stick to their own kind. Thing is you bring up a very important point and that is dance for the most part is seen as enjoyment or even play. But its considered an intimate thing you do with close friends and family. To do it in public is like your mom going to the store in her nighti

@TRUTHTEACHER2007 you could say saqita or 3ahira about a woman, and shaz about a man. I'm sorry but the 2 words you said are really offensive especially when u talk to a woman. you're a bit extreme at that, men dancing anywhere in Egypt is totally acceptable, as long as it's not very "gayish".
nefertoto 1 year ago
My bad I assumed you were a guy :-P My only objection to male Oriental dancers is when they try to act sexy like a woman or when they're so fem you don't know if your looking at a man or a woman. I know that as performance of course everyone is use to seeing women but a guy can perform and still be a guy just like when you see guys dancing for fun or even when the passion hits them they still carry themselves like guys. A male dancer shouldn't look like an ugly woman :-O

@TRUTHTEACHER2007 for women.. from children to maybe 26... single actually is what i mean.. maybe it's not really acceptable.. could somehow harm her "reputation".. this mentality took over the Egyptian only by the 80s by the way or a bit earlier. but after all we still think: "oh let the girls be happy" and it's all fun again, as long as she's not dancing sensually. so no, you're a bit extreme at that.
nefertoto 1 year ago
What I mean is for a woman to go on stage with it. At a wedding when the family is there its no problem, but to do it infront of strangers on stage, that's when it become a problem. And honestly I don't think the costume helps, even though some of them are works of art to rival anything on a Paris runway. I prefer whenthey wear elegant dresses and gowns because then you can watch the art of the thing and not be distracted. But in any case i believe its 1 of the great world dance forms.
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 oh, a woman dancing professionally? sure, that's a problem for her :D men dancing MALE dancing professionally, socially it's not a great position u know but at least people wont think he sells himself. all in all, it's sad what some Egyptians do to entertain tourists, they would do ANYTHING!
nefertoto 1 year ago
Even with the new modern style that developed in the 20's and 30's men were involved behind the scenes. They choreographed. Nagwa Foud and many top dancers had male choreographers Naima Akef's cousin Ibrahim was very famous and taught Fifi and Dina. In the late 60s the dance began getting popular in the west and once again many teachers were men. Little by little men began to peform once again. Now with Tito, what happened was due to the growth of female tourism in Sharem.
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 now the bad thing about that, that many men are dancing like tito and the real Egyptian male dancing, u know MALE dancing with sticks or without is disappearing. dancing is at it's best when a female dancer dances like a woman with a male dancer dancing like a man, especially the upper Egypt way.
nefertoto 1 year ago
Its not dying out at all. Its very much alive as it ever was. Even Tito dances with the stick. In fact he dances with 4 sticks watch?v=zd553DGRO5w. In the Said when they do it for real they also move the hips watch?v=rom9yco-CW4. And they always dance with their hips not just the stick watch?v=34hchkLCAVs
The shows where there are male oriental dancers are are always part of a larger folkloric program. They start with Tanoura the Saidi Nubian Fallahi Debka then femal sharki and male then both
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
But you know when all is said and done this won't change anything because people who like these types of shows will go see it and people who don't will go other places. Personally I enjoy watching the ordinary people dance out of pure joy than I do watching the professionals on stage. It hurts me when I see the women making the dance all about whose got the biggest implants because to me the dance is ultimately the soul of the people and all that stuff doesnt really reflect that reality
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
You do have a point. Its still looked down as a lowclass thing to do, but he can always prove himself by the life he lives. A woman much harder although certain dancers like Sohair zaki seemed to have been able to avoid scandal and suspicion. There is a range though in entertainment establishments. I think the best are the family oriented places in Sharem only thing is the quality of dance is sometimes weak. The lowest end are the clubs of Harem they depress me. :-(
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 in terms of class, soheir in nothing compared to samia gamal!! she's got class, in interviews she speaks and dresses like a princess! problem with female dancers is that, most of them do have bad reputation, scandal of Dina is only an example. lets face it, most dancers dance out of poverty, all they want is to make a living and their only wish is to stay home instead of having drunk men eating them with their eyes. except for dancers who reach fame and start appearing on TV
nefertoto 1 year ago
You've just summed up the situation perfectly. Most of them are driven to dancing out of sheer poverty and desperation, not a concept of artistic expression, but then again, most people forget that even in the West the concept of being an entertainer strictly for artistic passion is a rescent thing. It was always economics and poverty. Even ballarinas 60yrs ago were considered the same way dancers in Egypt are today. Your right, most of them want to be home not in public
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
They wanted to see guys dancing. At first they started by having informal dances on the beaches. Tito had a folk group in Sharem and of course he did the choreography. People began finding out about him and word soread about how good he was and so he was approached to perform. I knew about him way before this time. I've been to Sharem and now its popular to see guys performing Sharki, but they still have the female dancers as well and they always do a duet male and female together.
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
I was very interested to see who made up the audience. Turns out that most of the crowd is actually Egyptians on holiday and gulf tourists. The audiences are very appreciative and they go there specifically to see them. Tito isn't there anymore, but there are some new guys now and they are very well liked. What I will say is this those venues tend to be family oriented places and relatively inexpencive. Much better environment than the clubs on Haram in Cairo.
TRUTHTEACHER2007 1 year ago
There are no professional male Sharki dancers in Cairo yet, but the popular thing now at the weddings is to have a ra'asa and then the singer comes with a troup of 20 or 30 guys who dance back up and then go out into the audience and dance in the the crowd. The way I feel about it is that I don't like to see a professional male dancer dressing like a woman or trying to be seductive. You are righ a man would never be able to be a woman so as long as he does't cross that line I look at the talent

@MsDreams01 There is nothing in the Koran that speaks aginst dancing. Dancing has nothing to do with Islam persay, but neither do many human activities. CAn you show me anywhere in the Koran where it says people should not dance? As I said before, it all depends on the intent. Once upon a time some people thpugh playing chess was against ISlam because it distracted from prayers etc. So if dancing is haram what about sports like soccer, boxing, body building etc are these also haram?

@MrSmsm007 Its a legitimate part of Egyptian culture. Everyone dances, men women and children, where have you been? The only thing he's doing different is he's doing it on stage, but go to any wedding in Egypt and you'll see men dancing Raks Baladi, and not just in Egypt but all of North Africa, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and all the other countries in the area where this type of dancing had spread. There is no place in the East where only women dance, except on stage for tourists.

@MrSmsm007 I got you. Its just that most non Egyptians have no idea about what the real dance is all about. they have a fantasy so when they see a guy dancing, they often misunderstand. I'll say one thing for Tito though, he's got balls. Its one thing to dance at a wedding with your friends for fun, its something else to get up on stage when the datage has been an exclusively female domain for almost 100 years. There's lots of guys in Egypt better but they don't have the guts to do what he does
