Persian style is poetry-in-motion with graceful hands and flirty, yet feminine, facial expressions. Persian will compliment any classic cabaret routine and may be performed at weddings and restaurants. Samaai (Darij) is a 6/8 rhythm used in popular Egyptian bellydance music. We will learn how to recognize Samaai and how to address it as part of an Egyptian, Raqs Sharqi routine. These styles may be performed alone as traditional folkloric pieces, or blended into a modern fusion routine.
