Middle Eastern Dance is estimated to be around 5000 years old, an ancient dance which is said to of originated from Egypt and is still widely practiced today by men, women and children in many varying styles all over the East.

 

Middle Eastern Dance is also known as Arabic Dance, Egyptian Dance, Raqs Sharqi and Oriental Dance to name a few.   The movements of Eastern dance are a combination of fluid spine, hip, torso, neck and ribcage movements, with varied, strong legwork & flowing expressive hands and arms which sometimes add emotion to the dance and also frame dance movements.
