Thank you to everyone. I learn a lot with your posts. I will dance another melaya and hoppe you enjoy more than this (Oh please, must be better 7 years later!!!) Chukran ! Muna
The gum can be a part of it, its supposed to be a bit tacky, goodness me. I remember when Nadia Hamdi did it in the US and all the purists jumped on her, it is not a 'pure' Egyptian dance, its fun. btw it is incorrect to put an ' in leff. Leff is the Arabic for envelope, and in this case is also the verb, ie to envelope yourself in the cloak ie the melaya.
She was pretty hot with the small veil at first, but it didn't seem to make sense until she revealed her gum-chewing bratty-cuteness. I thought it was in keeping with the spirit of the style. Very flirtatious and confident.
I know the dress is not traditional either, but it was fine. Probably a part of a larger presentation...?
The gum-chewing is a later addition, supposed to show the flirtatiousness and frivolity of the young Alexandrian girls. However it should NOT be danced in the 2-pc orientale bedlah. There should be a short dress with a ruffled hem and a headscarf with pompoms on it.
Que lástima, un baile que parecia tan chulo al principio... Mejor que la chica no se hubiera quitado el velo de la cara... ¡pero a quien se le ocurre bailar mascando chicle?!!! y encima haciendo pompas... feo, feo...
Wow! Each day I fell muccu more in love with this dance! Beautiful!!!Loved the mysterious you added to your routine!Could u tell me this song please? I'd appreciated and thanks very much
De verdad, súper bien interpretado. Lo mejor que he visto en Melaya. Algunas de mis colegas dicen que es un baile ordinario, pero a ella le sale coqueto y muy bien logrado, sin caer en la vulgaridad.
the best!!!!

the gum is too cute for words. Gum Snapping Attitude! nailed it. nicely done. i don't think the bedleh detracts from it either.

Hola
Veo que no entiendes mucho de esta baile
Ya que normalmente se baila mascando chicle para que quede la chica mas chula porq es una baile muy descarado
A mi me ha encantado

que es exactamente el baile melaya? es una modalidad de danca del vientre?
pistro20 3 years ago
Si es una variedad del sur de alejandria
Lo bailaban la gente humilde sobre todo las mujeres de los pescadores
Es un baile muy muy coteto e insinuador a mi personalemente me encanta
hay una bailarina famosa que siempre masca chicle
Informate si ves a una profesional bailarlo te enganchara
