The movements of baladi dance are rooted in social, improvised dancing and in the way that the Egyptians danced organically! Unlike the more stylized Raqs Sharqi for stage (a.k.a. Belly dancing), Baladi dances are earthy, sinuous, grounded, and can even be cheeky! This performance, choreographed and performed by Shruti Narayanan, depicts the unrestrained joy and the heavy feeling of the 'internal', by a 'Bint-el-Balad' (Daughter of the Country), in her element.
This was performed for the Hyderabad Annual Bellydance Recital in January, 2019.
Music: Baladi Ya Wad Mercedes Nieto
