Dancers from the Tribal Rhythm Dance Studio in Lubbock, TX perform the Raks al Assaya cane dance at the 2008 Cultural Dance Exchange.
Raks al Assaya (pronounced "rocks all uh SI yuh") is the term for the female cane dance done in a charming and playful imitation of the male dance Tahtiyb (pronounced "tah TEEB"). Tahtiyb is a martial arts dance in which men enact fighting with long sticks. Both dances originated from the southern region of Egypt also known as Upper Egypt or the Said.

apart from them being a little stiff(which i forgive because when you're doing a group dance that usually happens)it was an excellent choreography
