The Bellydance Geek event with Shahrazad!

September 23rd & 24th

Lecture part 2: The development of Oriental Dance after 1900

 After the first fascinating part of van Shahrazad’s PowerPoint presentation in June
2017 we are looking forward to the following episode, in which we shall learn more
about the revival of the national cultural consciousness in the Arabic countries before
and after their independence; the flourishing of art in music, song and dance; how the
international film industry influenced Oriental dance performances; how dance
developed from being a neglected and sometimes even illegal background
phenomenon to a celebrated art form and symbol of liberty.
Besides encountering the famous stars of the oriental countries such as Badia
Masabni, Mahmud Reda, Tahia Carioca, Samia Gamal, Nagua Fouad, Zohair Zaki,
Fifi Abdo, Dina, Raqia Hassan and others, we shall discover the expansion in all
directions of the globe, where dancers of all nations discover, master, modify,
develop and glorify the oriental dance in so many ways!
