Egyptian Belly Dancing for Intermediates with Hilary Thacker

Egyptian Dancing with Hilary Thacker

Review by shanmonster from Fredericton, NB Canada: Filmed with live Egyptian music - Haggag Metqal on tabla, Essam ElMatrawi on douf and AlGamal ElSaghir on keyboards. You can use this as an advanced instruction video or simply as a performance video to sit back and enjoy. Hilary goes through four rhythms - Whada Kebira, Maqsoum, Saaidi and Fellahi, first with the drums alone and then set to music. Also featured are the song Nasa and the Baladi with taqasim and drum solo. There is also some beginners finger cymbal instruction.
