Why oriental dances: “Love to dance was born in childhood: with my mother I often watched the TV series“ Clone ”, where there were many scenes with oriental dance. I was fascinated by the music of the dance, movements, luxurious costumes, beautiful girls, their makeup – I looked at every dance with pleasure, and even tried to repeat after them. As time passed, I grew up and realized that it was time to fulfill my childhood dream. With each lesson I was drawn into the dance and I realized: “The East is a delicate matter.” This is a mystery, a mystery … Many are mistaken, believing that oriental dances are a way to present all the delights of your figure. This is a state of mind, self-expression of your inner self. This type of dance is not just hip wagging, as many believe. There are a lot of folklore directions here: bandari, baladi, iraqi, shaabi, dabka, khaliji, saidi and others. This is one more reason why I practice oriental dance. I am very different, and oriental dances give me the opportunity to show all the facets of my state of mind. “
