  • I'm Arab, and I can tell you that it's not an Arab dance. It's a Sufi Turkish ritual. The dizziness is supposed to bring the worshiper into a trance-like state, making them closer to God.

  • tell me what the song is please

  • Wow!! Awesome! Mesmerizing!!! I'm amazed ... Had not fallen or dizzy! o_O

  • well done mate, I mean the dancer. I've started doing tanoura and performing it but even I can't see how you lift the skirt with one hand only! you really have the technique down to a T. !!!

    just my penny's worth re: arabic/turkic. Almost all things like attire, footwork, attitude are different in Turkish & Egyptian whirling. Regarding the origins of whirling it goes back to Rumi who was Persian and died in Konya which is in today's Turkey.

  • this must be a gay bar in arabia

  • Whoa!!! it's awesome whatever it is

  • it's sufi dance ,i wouldn't say it's Arabic or Turkish

  • this isnt arabic its turkish

  • Как же он поход на того человека, который танцевал это в нашем отеле...

  • can anyone tell me the name of this song please...i am searching it for like a year maybe more...

  • If one looks closely, you will see the the style of belt wrapped around his body and the type of decor on the outter most skirt in not in arab tradition. This is a Turkish style of dance that some have confused with being Arabian since the Turks popularized this style of dance as it comes from  the Sufi tradition of Al-Islam. Moreover Arab styles of dance are very different than this. Arab dances are harder to come by as the laws in Saudi Arabia are strict concerning types of entertainment.

  • Anyway such dances are just for comercial atraction...for tourists, it has nothing to do with the real sufi dances.
