Khaleegi Style

The name Khaleeji literally means "from the Gulf" in Arabic and it is often performed in groups at special events by women. is a mix of folk dances containing traditional and modern styles from the surrounding Gulf countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE. ​The word Khaleeji is used to describe more than just the dance aspect of the culture. For anything that relates to Gulf culture this word is appropriate to use.  KHALEEGI RHYTHM SWINGS!  Whereas rhythms we are familiar with like Egyptian baladi or dabke are Straight rhythms. The swing rhythms have a gallop feel to them. Like Ayoub for example. Dum tek dum tek. Why does Khaleegi rhythm swing? One of the main theories is that it’s a polyrhythm, feet comes first then body comes after and is based on the camel’s limp. The way the camel walks trots moves.  Costuming varies from region to region even city to city but the traditional Khaleeji costume style is called thobe  Qualities  very distinctive footwork shimmies only involving the hands and the shoulders head slides and circles chest drops specialized finger snapping distinctive hair flips. ❀ Style: Khaleegi ❀ Level: Beginner to Intermediate ❃ Khaleegi Warm Up ❃ Stretch ❃ Khaleegi Technique: body, footwork, gestures, and more ❀ Creativity Drill + Choreography and Play
