BALADI DANCE ....
Talk to an Egyptian and they use the term Baladi in Egyptian dance in a different way to what we often hear in the westernised bellydance world.
To them the term Baladi means something local, something rooted in social tradition which reflects the attitudes of people not born into an easy life, who have the power, humour and tenacity to rise above some of the daily realities.
There are similarities with the flamenco dance of the gypsies in that sense.
The dance, even though naturally feminine, is as much about the energy communicated from dancer, to musician, to spectator. Its about engaging others to want to get up and join you.
Its about community.
