Its modern form developed through a long process of cultural exchange, social change, and artistic influences.<\/p>\n<p>The development of Egyptian\u00a0<strong>raqs sharqi<\/strong>, which during the 20th century developed into a stage art form and incorporated elements from ballet, theatre, and other Western performing arts. Bad\u012b\u2019ah Mas\u0101bn\u012b was one of the key figures in this transition.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>In Oriental Dance, the dancer learns to isolate and control different parts of the body: the torso, pelvis, shoulders, arms, and head. Undulations, vibrations, circles, and body movements are combined with the music and the distinctive rhythms of the Oriental music tradition.<\/p>\n<p>The class is not only about outward appearance. It develops\u00a0<strong>body awareness, coordination, musicality, movement isolation, and personal expression.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At our schools, we approach Oriental Dance with respect for its cultural origins and an emphasis on proper technique. Students progress gradually from basic movements and rhythms to composition, improvisation, and stage presence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A dance that teaches you to better understand your body and turn it into a musical instrument.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORIENTAL
