Egyptian folk dancing (Saidi) Raks Assaya: Soraya Night at the Casbah

A contemporary take on traditional Folk dancing from Upper Egypt. In this portion of the best selling DVD entitled: "Soraya's Night at the Casbah", Saidi cane dancing (Raks Assaya) is featured. There is an Egyptian doumbek drum solo at the end of the performance.

"Rhythm and feeling is paramount in Egyptian belly dancing and what connects mother earth to the dancer. It grounds us so we can circle back to ourselves as human beings. Rhythm is what makes the hips want to move with precise articulation and interprets the beat. It is the basic foundation of all music. Rhythm has always been my road map. I love for the drums to be deep, funky, natural and complex. The beat gives all styles of dance form, direction, depth and an interpretive dynamic style."

Marvelous performance which embodies everything that is beautiful about Oriental dance. Possibly the most tasteful and artistic costume of all which appear on youtube's many wonderful videos.

Beautiful and soulful dancing, it is so wonderful to watch an artist who "feels" the music . Also I love the dress and how you use your long hair to gracefully incorporate and express a transition or movement! Truly a daughter of Terpsachore! Loved it!
