Mariel Sitka – The Golden Age of Bellydance
Sunday, May 30th | 1pm – Zoom 1hr – €7 per adult/1 per screen
The Golden Age refers to the time around the ‘40s to the ‘60s when Egyptian cinema was booming, with the Egyptian
film industry being the third largest in the world in the 1950s. By this time, many movies featured Egyptian dancers who became very popular, in part as a result of their film appearances. Many of the Golden Age belly dancers shared similarities in the way they moved, creating the style, or the types of music they danced to, but each of them had something special that made them special and unique. Great dancers such as Tahia Carioca, Samia Gamal, Nayma Akef were the most popular ones. The kind of dance of this age is softer and rounder than the dance we are used to see now. Also the posture of the body is different from the balletic posture so common to see these days. Taking this into account, we will practice different movements that are very characteristic of the style, also the use of veil, and hands framing style. You should experience this glamorous style to understand what I mean!
