This is a clip of my dear friend Shadiah who spent several years dancing overseas when she was not performing in Detroit. In this clip she is dancing the classic Egyptian Orientale Routine "Mashaal", composed by Hani Mehanna. Posted with her permission.
I love this! Thank you for posting, Norma!

Closer to the American Cabaret of the 70's and early 80's. I love this style in that it combines diffrent styles of dance from the Middle East.

I love it! And it has so much in common with other dances I know, like kalbeliya spins and Turkish folklore and kathak moves that is really interesting to watch too. So much closer to the real, original thing, I figure. Just my idea, of course. ; )
