Egyptian Ritual Dinner: History of Classical Egyptian Belly Dancing

Special Event | October 26 | 7 p.m. | International House, Home Room


International House


Experience an evening of Maza and Egyptian village food while enjoying classical belly dancing during one of our most popular programs, the ritual dinners.

Raqs Baladi (Local Dance) is a celebration of the femininity and sensuality of woman. It is fundamentally an improvisational dance with its own movement vocabulary, fluidly integrated with the rhythm of the music. In Raqs Baladi, the dancer internalizes and expresses the emotions evoked by the music. The most revered Raqs Baladi dancers are those who can best project their inner emotions through dance, even if their movement vocabulary is very simple.
