Raks Assaya - working on a new cane dance routine, just choreographed the first 1min, the rest improvised as I play with the music, finding new moves. the song is Allahalek Ya Sidi from album sensations orientales by Ishtar (singer/band). Ceiling is too low in my studio so can't swing the cane very well unfortunately - and lucky the lights are still there!

  • Just because it has a saidi rhythm in the background doesn't mean it's meant for raks al assaya. Love this song, love the costume, and very cute presence... but misplaced.

  • my apologies, if I have duplicate replies to your comment, youtube has some bug today and it doesn't show up at all. But in case it does later,.... my apologies for the repetition!! anyway, thx for viewing and commenting... happy shimmies!

  • I understand your view regarding this modern arabic pop song and modern Egyptian Assaya movements, of course it is a modern interpretation, and it is very well placed, seeing as this song is so popular in Egypt. While I was at the Ahlan Wa Salan fest in 2009, Dina and Raqia were a couple of teachers who used modern Arabic Pop and some Modern Egyptian combinations, it is the style today. This is not folkloric style, but Cabaret/Oriental.

  • also if a Saidi rhythm is in a song of course it lends itself to Raks Assaya, Saiidi is Raks Assaya from Upper Egypt, when a Oriental Routine is playing and it changes to Saiidi, than it is time to do Saiidi movements with or without Cane.

  • @IshtarBellydancer Cool cane dance. It's really fun to watch.

  • @caitlinboo You aren't seriously trying to get legalistic with belly dancing? Since when is an art form limited in its expression?

  • hey there ! thanks for your appreciation, the song is sung by "Ishtar", Oriental Sensation is the Album compliation.
