"Just Dance," Says Aida,
A conversation with Aida Nour by Lynette Harris
She
likes improvisation, and says that if a dancer has very good technique
and a good ear for the music she should “just dance.”

Streets of Cairo- Egyptian Rhythm, Language
and Dance by Keti Sharif
Cairo's
streets are much like its dance – streams of freestyle movement
guided by intuition rather than rules. There are no 'principles'
as such in both circumstances – it’s the organic-ness
of Egyptian life that creates order in chaos.

Giza Awards 2005, A Cultural Odyssey,
by Rebecca Firestone
Can
it be that the West has been so involved in learning technique
and choreography that the very soul of the dance has been left
to those in the Middle East who are desperately struggling to
keep their art alive?

Hosting Australia’s Leonie
and Alpen Sukan by Samiya
