Wednesday Inspiration: Hiyatim

I am sorry it has been so long!  It has been hard to keep a regular blogging schedule with my kids out of school.  But I am so excited about my blog's redesign and really looking forward to getting back on track.

Egyptian Dancer Hiyatim

Today's inspirational clip is the beautiful Egyptian dancer Hiyatim.  She is dancing a lovely beledi in this one.  

I especially want to point out the way she dances to the drummy part at the end.  It's very different to how a modern Western style belly dancer would dance it.  She is not going crazy just because the drum is strong, and it is a very different effect.

I love her dancing and I hope you enjoy this one!!

The start of the clip is too cute :)

As always, Happy Dancing.  If you would like to hear some gorgeous l i v e Arabic music and see some belly dance, our First Friday party at Tannourine is this coming Friday, 7/1.  Complete details are available on my Shows Page.

Thank you for visiting!
