Choreography

Ghazal El Saidi (Saidi with cane)

Saidi style choreography to Ghazal El Saidi song.


ATTENTION! This version of the song is produced by Egyptian dancer and teacher Wael Mansour. You need to contact him directly in order to purchase this song if you decide to use it for performances. Simply message him via Instagram or FB, saying that you'd like to obtain the album with Ghazal El Saidi song. He will give all instructions on how to proceed. He will also provide the professional translation of the lyrics along with your purchase.


Typically I try to choose songs that are available directly on iTunes and Spotify, but you should understand that many belly dance songs are not placed there. It's a common practice for professional dancers to produce their own CDs and sell them directly from their websites, or in-person during their workshops. This particular song is so beautiful, that I couldn't resist creating a choreography to it. Hope you'll enjoy dancing to it too! :)


Location: Yasmina's B&B for belly dancers in Cairo/Egypt.

I'm wearing a Saidi-style costume in the demo video provided by Yasmina. If you book a photoshoot with Yasmina, you can borrow this costume (among multiple other options) for an extra look. ;)
