Almost every country around the world has its own ‘stylistic’ culture. Among other features, nothing like dancing, or better yet ‘folk/traditional dancing’ that truly reflects historical and traditional culture.
Egypt is recognized worldwide by its pyramids, historical monuments and of course its folk dance ‘some like to call it belly dancing’.
What we are presenting in this video is not the erotic belly dance that many tourists crave for. But we are featuring the traditional folk dance of Egypt by one of the prominent groups performing that art in Egypt right now, namely ‘SOHAG’ folk dance group.
Sohag’s performance was filmed in December 2019 at El-Hagaag open plaza in Luxor. At the background of the plaza, we could see/enjoy the colossal colonnade of the amazing ‘Luxor Temple of Ramses II’

I can't describe how glad I am to find an accurate representation of belly dancing. The modern day belly dancers are mostly European white women who stole our culture and the dance got sexualized. These girls killed it, and they also wore the traditional Saidi Egyptian clothes. I love everything about this vid.
Thank you Fatemah Hatem for the nice & wise comment. It is one of the best I got so far. Actually this was a scene in a documentary about traditional ( Saidi) belly dance, but the Covid 19 pandemic has put the project on hold.
Had they donned the so called traditional belly dance costumes, they'd have been arrested in Upper Egypt. Been there. I know that's true. Edit: as an after thought no one in Egypt cares about the ancient culture or antiquities. That's just how it is.
@@AshrafEzzat When and where is the documentary going to come out?
@@EgyptianDarling Hello there. Hopefully this summer. Thank you for your interest ... Kindly consider subscribing to the channel to keep updated with my upcoming videos & documentaries.
yeeeess!!!! I'm from America, and the whole dance is has been so pornified. The women (it's always women) wear the most skimpy outfits they can find and make it 'Sexy Back'. As I understand it, the dance was a folk dance, done historically in village locations. It was a community event, not a strip club. Seeing how the people who created this style of folk dance didn't die out, that means there were children there. I don't think scantily clad women would have danced seductively for all the men in front of their young children...the folk dance is so much better than the west's sexy dance!
I love how this belly dancing is properly represented. It looks so artfully done not sexualized the way it is expressed in the movies. The hand movements are so graceful.
Kindly share the video.
I can imagine thousands of years ago how during festivals the music and the people would be dancing in the streets like this.
You are perfectly correct! Holidays to Hathor would be celebrated!
and using the same musical instruments too
@@waeleldanbouky6920 Such a beautiful art form.
That's not the actual traditional dancing for Egyptians though 😅
Belly dancing the way we know today is made by a mixture of greeks moves and so and Arabian. You can research cuz I can't really remember the exact info sorry.
@@abdul.rahman8552It is, lol. Belly dancing originated in Ancient Egypt. Why did you feel the need to share your opinion when you didn't actually go learn about it? You can start with a quick Wikipedia read. Cheers...
this has been the only video of belly dancing i’ve been able to find thats not sexualized to hell and back, it really is such a beautiful art i’m glad i was able to see a video of it for how it’s supposed to be traditionally:]
Thank you Lemon Peppermint. Kindly subscribe & share the video.
Where do you have your eyes ????
There are lots of dance videos that are not "sexualized" as you call it
If you want, have a look at the DANCE video list on my channel 👍
@@rosedudesert4389 shut up pls
@@theincarnateofkurro Why❓
Bro, I feel the same
I'm Argentinean... And I wanted to learn about original Egyptian culture. Thanks a lot for this! It's beautiful!
Glad you liked the video. Kindly consider subscribing to my channel for more on Egyptian culture... And it would be nice if you shared the video.🙏
@@AshrafEzzat Done! As long as I can know the Egyptian culture deeply 😍😍😍🙏🏻✨
y soy una egipcia que se encanta la belleza de la cultura latinoamericana. somos opuestas, pero con el mismo deseo de aprender jaja. (no tengo ninguna idea de cómo hablar español. al menos estoy tratando, ¿no?)
@@bigboybeni soy otra argentina que también adora la cultura egipcia. qué lindo saber que hay gente que siente lo mismo por nuestra cultura latina!
My favorite video of this . I’m so happy to see my people get proper representation when it comes to our culture that’s been sexualised. I love everything about this and looking forward to the documentary .
I find belly dancing to be unbelievably cool and beautiful. It's crazy how much control these dancers have over parts of their body! God bless 💓
I love how the musicians dance with them and play so compellingly.
Now this is what I wanted to see-- real representation
Thank you ... Kindly share the video.

This is how it should be .. Ancient and Beautiful ❤️
I have to say thank you so much for this video, I am from Africa, Mozambique is my country. Unfortunately I see a lot of miss representation about dances from Africa. This gives me a bit of faith. Everything now is so fusion that becomes confusion or is so sexualised that unfortunately the dances loses the purpose in the main stream because everything is about showbiz, and sell, and make money and not to show the culture (how it really is). Africans in my belief have to find a way to modernize yes but keep at the same time the aesthetics of the dance movements, the purpose, the culture and the background history. For that has to do with the teachers but also the performers. We have to be careful when we start to change so much the dances, especially when they are coming from folk or traditional concepts.
Thank you Pynksy Shell, for your insightful comment. As an African myself, I share your views about our ancient traditions. Indeed we must keep them ( especially music & folk dance) alive & intact in such a modern/monetized world.
Belly dance is not only from Africa!!!
@@rosedudesert4389 we know its also from west asia
@@rosedudesert4389 true but I believe it originated from there. This video was showing part of traditional Egyptian culture.
@@breebreeturner Bellydance originated mostly from Mesopotamia, therefore Asia not Africa 🤔
And it's not regarded as a type of African dance either, that's why it's called oriental dance or arabic dance, not african dance‼️
While more revealing dance costumes have their place too, I love seeing belly dancers dressed in more traditional and less revealing style! And they all look like they're having a blast, both the dancers and the musicians.
They are indeed. Kindly share the video.😍
Спасибо, хоть нормальный египетский танец увидела. А девушки просто прелесть как танцуют по-настоящем🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This looks so fun in this context. I generally have only seen belly dance meant for the stage, like Kira Lebedeva or Yana Yamana, and they were obviously heavily modified for their audience as well. It's hard to find dances that are actually from Egypt, etc, when you don't know Arabic or Farsi because googling "Traditional Egyptian Belly Dance" just brings up random folks dancing "Traditional Egyptian Belly Dance". I guess the folks who post videos in English are usually folks who speak primarily English as well, which makes videos like this one rarer. There's a certain rustic simplicity to this video that has its own effects which are different from the modified versions for the stage. Thanks for posting!
I practice Hula and Tahitian dance which helped me Segway into Belly dance, I studied the names of the movements and found what real belly dance looks like. I’m a much bigger fan of the older styles as opposed to the new watered down stuff I used to practice.
THE QURAN OF THE ARABS SPEAKS OF A PEOPLE ON THE MAINLAND THAT LEFT IN ANCIENT TIMES AND WENT TO THE ISLANDS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST.POLYNESIAN PEOPLE MAY HAVE ARAB ANCESTORS IT IS NO ACCIDENT THAT AS A HULA DANCER YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO BELLY DANCING,ANOTHER ODD FACT THE HEADDRESS OF THE HAWAIIAN KING WAS IDENTICAL TO THE HEADDRESS OF THE MONKS OF TIBET THAT ARE HIGH IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE ROOF OF THE WORLD.HISTORY IS STRANGE AND MUCH OF IT IS LOST TO TIME.LET YOUR BELLY AND HULA DANCING FRIENDS PONDER THIS POSSIBLE HISTORY
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support 👍
This is the way I danced. Back in the day. To that sort of music. And I loved it. It made me feel happy.
Thanks for the education on how the traditional Egyptian belly dance looks like. I been belly dancing since I was little but stoped cause I don’t want to receive hate from anyone. And did my research on how the dance really is. I’m Macedonian/American btw.
as long as you do it respectfully i don't see the problem..? dont do it in a mocking way and i don't see why ppl wouldn't send hate
Ya shekha, don't listen to the terminally online crowd. If you want to dance, dance! -Egyptian
لا احد يكرهك
Don't stop dancing if you love it! Greetings from a belly dancing Croatian. 💃✨

This is thé beautiful and original belly dancing. The true one done by original people. Love Egypte 💕💕💕💕
❤❤❤❤
I grew up around belly dancers that honored the traditional style, and was absolutely heartbroken to find how much modern takes on belly dancing are so sexualized. I wasn't surprised, but still sad. So happy to see a video of proper dancing.
Exactly what I was looking for! Beautiful and traditional! ♥️🇪🇬♥️🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Glad you like it. Kindly share the video.
The whole vibe was very very energetic . There was a smile in my face while watching .
Lots of love and respect from india🇮🇳💙🇪🇬 .
That mijwiz is so beautiful. Middle eastern sound is so intoxicating the dancers are enchanting mashallah 🧿
Egypt is considered apart of the Middle East bc Arabs colonized it, this is not middle eastern culture, this is OG Egyptian culture
No not Middle Eastern that don't exist, it's not a continent, you must be American since you don't know geography. This is from north Africa not Middle East a term that was made in the 1930s by British & Zionists ppl that invaded Palestine. This term should be taken out of our vocabulary.
Egypt is North African.
Egyptian only🇪🇬🇪🇬
Very cool, I love world music, the original from each nation, Thank you for sharing, Love from Portugal to Egypt.
I'm a young guy from the west, but am so glad to see this traditional belly dance! Many of the other videos are so sexualised, it doesn't really speak to culture and history of this people. This is much more interesting!
This is real belly dance, amazing ❤️
I think I've just found authentic Egyptian belly dance video. ❤🇧🇩
It's so good to see traditional dance 💃🏽 😊
I’m a 41 Mexican man grown up in Los Angeles, finding my self having a crush on an Egyptian woman and I’m learning as much as I can and this video is awesome nothing like a happy representation of cultures.

So gracefully performed👏👏👏Now this is what I called a genuine belly dance performance...
Really nice and everyone looks happy.
I really wish the camera person had zoomed out once in a while to show the whole group dancing so we could see the formations in the choreography. Beautiful dancing, disappointing camera work.
I look forward to seeing more. This was beautiful. Thank you. :-)
It looks so glamorous and artful love it ❤❤❤
not only the dance but the music is enchanting!
I been looking for traditional belly dancing for a long time I'm glad I found this.
Love it!! The look natural. It comes from within. No sexualized or nothing
Yes Wallahe,....this is the real deal !!! Proper belly dancing.
아름다운 댄스를 감상하며 즐거운 시간입니다.
감사합니다.
I've been looking for a more traditional version of belly dancing

شكرا يا أيه ... برجاء تشيير الفيديو و الاشتراك و عمل لايك 😍
Thank you for sharing. This was wonderful to see.
Glad you enjoyed it!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!😭❤❤❤
This dancing is amazing and I have found the comments very enlightening. I realise that what I have seen of belly dancing so far is apparently inauthentic and over sexualised, so thankyou very much for the education. My only sorrow is that I don't see many female faces in the audience. P.S I am really enjoying the music and singing too. I love the way the musicians are dancing too. The dance seems to be a visual interpretation of the music rather than a display to inspire sexual feelings.
There is however an entire row of elderly women sitting at the first line and looking very happy.
Yess!! Egyptian representation. Great video
i love traditional dances and music..
I have been looking for YEARS for video of authentic belly dance. Everything out there is "tribal fusion" with barely dressed women undulating like snakes. I've always wanted to learn tribal dance, but want to do it in a honorable and respectful manner.
We see new things everyday!
What a wonderful world
What amazing energy! 💯🙌🏾👏🏼
Soooo beautiful and MAGIC 💖💖💖 amazing 😍😍
Kindly share the video... And subscribe to the channel for more upcoming videos.
The men and women dancing synchronized is nice to see.
Beautiful people , beautiful culture and hub of economy
Just beautiful. This cultural dance is precious. These brave women for performing this dance is awesome. Thank you.
Wow..this is the art. Not the modern nonsense that happens under the name of this great dance. Belive it or not..this makes it more sensual.
Really nice with men participation too

Glad you liked the show. Kindly like & share the video.
I love ARAB culture
Every Arab country has a different culture. You will find something like this only in Egypt.
It's Egyptian culture dear ,get it right
@minalameey4366 It's quite surprising that most people don't know that Gypsies also have a huge presence in the Middle East and belly dancing is a dance associated with Egyptian Gypsies and not with the Arabs, Copts, Greeks and Berbers of Egypt.
Amazing!! Thank you for sharing.
Very beauttiful!❤👏👏👏
Beautiful dance 😊😊😊😊😊
really beautiful
Thanks ! God Bless You All!
Wow this is beautiful, if only we could go back to late ancient Egypt, imagine the Levant at this time too? 🇪🇬 🇱🇧 🇸🇾
These dances are arab dances not pharaonic !
@@khawlaelnafissi4831 this one im sure has arab influence, belly dancing originates in the Levant many years before arabic was even a language
@@khawlaelnafissi4831 not true this is Egyptian
@@Ilyaswashere belly dancing originated in ancient Egypt actually**
Friends it likely started in mesopotamia of which the Levant and Egypt is descended. We are the same people with the same ancestors if we go back far enough
chills! so much energy and artistry!
Kindly share the video.
Beautiful, really good idea on how I can create a good sword and sorcery novel based on your culture
wow so beautiful! thanks for sharing, love from the Philippines
Thanks for visiting. Kindly share the video and don't forget to like it and subscribe to my channel.
Hermoso 💙😌
Nice performance
I'm not one to knock on sexuality and sexy dance, but I really do appreciate seeing raqs sharqi for what it *actually* is as opposed to what it became thanks to orientalism. The dancers look like they're having a ton of fun, and the hand positions are very elegant! Delightful to watch and appreciate. ^^
This is so beautiful
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
Que belleza de música, que afortunada seria de poder estár en un espectáculo en vivo en un lugar tan exótico con tanta historia ❤ maravillosas las bailarinas.
