Nadia Gamal Movies
This release incorporates the only videotaped record in existence of an instructional course given by La Danse orientale guru Nadia Gamal - the private dancer for such crowned heads as King Hussein of Jordan and The Shah of Iran, and the woman credited with bringing the art of Oriental dancing into the United States. The material in question was culled from Gamal's second official workshop in New York City, in 1981; in it, she covers the choreographies for two dances - The Bedouin 'Folkloric' Dance and The Oriental 'Raks Sharki' Dance, and individual styles, within these larger choreographies, such as Bedouin Gypsy, Basic Beledi and Folklore. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
