Read online "Oriental dance in 14 days", Marina Oriental - LitRes

Acquaintance

Hello, dear readers! Let's get acquainted. My name is Marina. I am a successful dancer and teacher of oriental dance. I studied with the best teachers in Russia and Egypt. I have been doing oriental dances for more than ten years, since 2004.

I have a huge experience of performing at various events: from banquets in restaurants to international festivals, many victories and prizes at Moscow and Russian competitions. My performances invariably delighted the audience and many began to turn to me with a request to teach them how to dance, tell them about oriental dance, costumes, and music.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection, when all mass events were cancelled, I have been actively involved in teaching. And in addition to grateful spectators, I have added many satisfied students throughout Russia.

In the book, which is offered to your attention, we will consider the basic base of Arabic dance movements.

Now I would like to introduce you to the basic concepts and ideas in the culture of this art.

Let's start with a little historical background.

Belly dance or Oriental dance?

The Arabs themselves call their dance "Raqs sharqi", which means "Dance of the East". Arabic dances are a huge layer of culture with many different directions and styles. The classical Arabic dance is based on the Egyptian style of performance.

At the beginning and middle of the 20th century, Cairo was the center of the entertainment industry of the East, a kind of Arab "Hollywood". In the clubs and cabarets of Cairo, one could listen to beautiful singing, enjoy magnificent dances, and watch various performances. These establishments were visited with pleasure by representatives of the Arab elite and guests from all over the world. It was in these cabarets that the style of stage performance of oriental dance, to which we are accustomed, was born. It would be more correct to call this direction "Oriental", i.e., if it is briefly described, it is a beautiful stage dance, the performers of which are familiar with the principles of classical choreography, while not forgetting about oriental authenticity. In our book, we consider movements in the Oriental technique.

So what's right?

I don't recommend using the name "belly dance" for several reasons. Firstly, as I said, Arabic dances are a huge layer of culture, which includes many folklore trends (Egyptian, Persian Gulf countries, Maghreb countries, etc.), as well as classical oriental dance, in which one can also distinguish several directions. And to fit all these dances under the primitive concept of "belly dance" is simply incorrect.

Secondly, the name "belly dance" introduces some confusion. After all, Arabic dances are not danced with the stomach at all! First of all, the dance uses various movements of the hips, body, chest, arms and legs. And also the dance is enriched with penetrations, movements and turns. Directly the stomach is involved almost in the last place.

It would be much more correct to say “oriental” or “Arabic” dances, if we are talking about this direction in general. Or to specify: classical Arabic dance (i. e. Oriental), folklore, etc.

Arabic dance jump

1. We do a twist with the hips, rise sharply on our toes and lower ourselves, which creates the effect of a jump (Fig. 122).

2. Jump with knee lift (Fig. 123).

3. Jumping from foot to foot (Fig. 124).

4. Sit down (Fig. 125).

Body in the space of dance

A true dancer dances all over - from the tip of her fingernail to the tip of her hair. From any position

- sitting, lying down, standing

- the body can create its own music in space.

Here are some of the “parterre” movements:

– wave from top to bottom, bending the knees and lowering them to the floor. Then you can lean back and put the hand closest to the viewer on the floor, continuing the wave with your body;

- wave from bottom to top.

fig. 125

From a kneeling position facing the viewer:

1. Waves from side to side, arms make wave-like movements to the sides.

2. Horizontal Figure Eight with hips forward or backward.

3. Hip circle.

4. Frontal "eight" with the hips from the bottom up or from the top down. With these movements, you can lower the pelvis to the floor between the legs, or on the feet.

5. Right knee squat. We get up - squat to the left of the knees.

6. We turn sideways to the viewer. Wave with the body, put the hand behind, continuing to make the wave. We straighten the opposite leg, turn to face the viewer.

7. Bend the arm and place it on the elbow. We continue the wave with the body from above or below.

8. We rise on the arm and place the opposite leg crosswise behind the knee of the leg of the same name. Arthamatsyendrasana: we twist the "lanterns" with our hands. We turn the body first in one direction, then in the other side slowly, pausing. We try to turn the shoulders perpendicular to the pelvis. You can push off with your hand from the front knee.

9. From a kneeling position, sit down between your knees, continuing to dance.

10. Then you can lie down - your hands and stomach are dancing.

11. Stand with the hips forward, the body is bent, hands behind the head.

12. From the kneeling position, put the foot closest to the viewer on the toe, start moving the hip up and down (circles or arches with the hips).

13. You can also climb through the wave from below - with your hips forward. Even easier - with a wave from top to bottom.

Types of Arabic dances

Saber dance

In this age when men become feminine and women become masculine, the sword dance is becoming more and more popular. But where can one find a craftsman to make such a saber, which could be both cut and balanced? It is easier to find sabers that you can swing but not cut: the so-called balancing sabers are sold in eastern countries, but it’s difficult to call them sabers - props. The same deception is presented to us in many films when they show how a fragile girl with thin arms fights with a man and defeats him. It's impossible to win with such thin hands! Try standing for five minutes with your arms stretched out to the sides - is it hard? With a saber - even harder! And if it's a sword, and even a two-handed one? You won’t be able to lift him at all, let alone dance with him. It takes a female warrior to dance with weapons! Saber dance - preparation, training before the fight. During the battle, the warriors in the battle also do not move, but dance - this is a state when the body moves separately from you, obeying fate, the dance of life and death. The gods also dance: for example, in ancient Indian mythology, it is said that when the universe collapses, the god Shiva will dance his dance of death. Dance can kill, and dance can resurrect. Why is there a dance - any movement affects the surrounding space. Therefore, each of your movements must be meaningful, so that you are aware of how you influence the World. And to know how the World will affect you.

Some believe that the sword dance does not exist, it has no roots. Nevertheless, at the last Cairo festival, this dance was presented by a teacher from Turkey. And the fact that we have few warriors is true - really few. Well, there are even fewer female warriors.

In bellydance, not quite a “saber dance” is presented, it is more reminiscent of a circus performance. But the circus is also good. ALLE! – and the dancer performs a head balance, you applaud! ALLE! - balancing on the chest, applause. ALLE! - balancing on the thigh. Why not take a look…

“Dance of the Light Bearer”

Shamadan is the name of the candelabra attached to the hat. It is worn by a dancer who entertains guests during the wedding procession. Needless to say, this is quite dangerous: any careless movement of a dancer can lead to very unpleasant consequences - from burning hair or a costume to any others. The shamadan should be very well fixed, and the candles should not melt too much. The suit must be thought out in such a way that it deteriorates as little as possible when wax gets on it. Considering that a costume can cost $500 or more, calculate the “cost” of a dance in which it is not a pity to ruin this costume.

When performing the “dance of the light-bringer”, care must be taken not to harm yourself or your costume, and also not to let the candles go out. Without proper skill, it will be oh how difficult to dance such a dance!

Saidi

Saidi— a shepherd dance reminiscent of the Ukrainian hopak. The original version of this dance is performed even now, and not with light canes, but with sticks. Saidi is also called the warrior dance, the forerunner of the sword dance. Shepherds graze their flocks, fighting off wolves with sticks, and sometimes from unkind people, so the shepherd must be dexterous and strong. And the shepherds train their strength and dexterity in the dance, competing with each other in possession of a stick.

A more civilized version of this dance is “smoothed and pomaded” in front of an audience and is performed by men. A fairly massive bamboo cane with a curved end is used as a stick.

The variant we are used to seeing is the shepherd's dance with a light cane. Saidi has a pronounced "masculine" rhythm, which again is interestingly combined with feminine plasticity, grace and beauty.

Maksum

Rhythm with an unexpressed male or female character is a kind of “hermaphrodite”. By temperament, it resembles a Russian tap dance (it would be more accurate to say “tap dance” with the hips). In the process of one dance, this rhythm can acquire either feminine (beledi) or masculine (saidi) features.

Thanks to this, max has a very diverse, rapidly changing dance pattern, so it is interesting in competitions where you need to show everything you can in a short period of time.

Beledi

The name of this dance in translation into Russian means "motherland".
