This book is an exploration into the history, aesthetics, social
reality, regulation, and transformation of dance and dance music in
Egypt. It covers Oriental dance, known as belly dance or danse du
ventre, regional or group-specific dances and rituals, sha'bi
(lower-class urban music and dance style), mulid (drawing on Sufi
tradition and saints' day festivals) and mahraganat (youth-created,
primarily electronic music with lively rhythms and biting lyrics).
The chapters discuss genres and sub-genres and their evolution, the
demeanor of dancers, trends old and new, and social and political
criticism that use the imagery of dance or a dancer. Also
considered are the globalization of Egyptian dance, the replication
or fantasies of raqs sharqi outside of Egypt, as well as the dance
as a hobby, competitive dance form, and focus of international
dance festivals.
