Geek Out with Sahra Kent

The Puzzle of Egyptian Folklore

Episode 23 of the Belly Dance Geek Clubhouse:
My guest, Sahra Kent (aka Sahra Saeeda), will talk about how understanding the context is the key to making sense of Egyptian folklore.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many videos of the same folkloric style (such as Saidi) can look so different, Sahra’s breakthrough “tables” approach can help you make sense of it.

So join me and Sahra for a geek-tacular discussion on how to put together the puzzle pieces so you can finally get a clear picture of Egyptian folkloric dance.

As always, we’ll have some discussion time, so you can ask Sahra your questions too.
