Belly Dance Folklore | Saidi Style - The Saidi Basic

There is an ancient and rich culture behind the beautiful art of Arab dance - or belly dance - and one of my absolutely favorite folkloric styles is Saidi.
From upper Egypt, this powerful dance form uses several steps that are not part of the regular belly dance vocabulary, but are a must to include if you are dancing to music that references the rhythm of this style.
In this video I walk you through the most essential Saidi style movement - The Saidi Basic - with special attention paid to the stylization and attitude that are the hallmarks of this step.
So if you are ready to explore the beauty and power of Saidi style dance, join me here.
Let's dance!

    The Said wear open back flats, so the brush and flexed foot are to keep your shoes (shebsheb) on your feet 😆 The Said also do a chest drop, even with a simple walk, not just the heels.
