Enjoy Belly Dancing and Arabian Tanoura Dance Show at Dubai Desert Safari camp which is one of the highlights of Dubai desert safari trips or Dubai Dhow Cruise.

Belly dance, also referred to as Arabic dance (Arabic: رقص شرقي‎, romanized: Raqs sharqi, literally: “oriental dancing”), is an Arabic expressive dance which originated in Egypt and that emphasizes complex movements of the torso.

In Egypt, the practice of whirling has been adapted as tanoura.The word tanoura or tannoura refers to the colorful skirt worn by the whirler, with a color representing each Sufi order. The word may also refer to the dancer, traditionally a Sufi man. Tanoura is associated with Sufism and is performed at Sufi festivals, but it is also performed by non-Sufis as a folk dance or concert dance.

Although it is mainly used for visual effects, the dancers also augment their balance with the tanoura, through a dynamic centrifugal effect. It’s also one of the highlights of Dubai desert safari trips or Dubai Dhow Cruise.

The Tanoura beat is religious in nature and the performers aim is to reach spiritual inner purity and to enter a trance-like state during the performance, being at one with God. The long swirling colorful skirts that the performers wear make spectacular patterns as they twirl around in circles. Due to the excitement in the crowd, they loudly gasp and hold their breath together saying ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ when the performers stun them with lights. That’s when lots of more cameras click. The performers stop spinning at the end of the performance apparently showing no signs of dizziness or discomfort. It’s amazing to watch!

You can enjoy the belly dancing and tanoura dance in Dubai Dhow Cruise or in Dubai desert safari camp when you get relaxed with BBQ Dinner, sweets and coffee.

Thanks for Watching!
