Show Notes
Greetings from The Bronx,
Amira is a dancer who practices Raqs Sharqi, an Egyptian dancing style popularized during the Golden Age of Egyptian cinema. The dance is done at haflas (parties), weddings, restaurants, and there is even a version performed as a form of resistance.
We spoke about Amira's entry into the world of Raqs Sharqi, the history of the dance, her experiences performing in Egypt, and much more.
