Hair Dance

by DG

The earlier post on long haired belly dancers sent me exploring in a new direction. Some of the belly dancers in those clips were doing a lot of hair flipping.


My quest was a fruitful. Apparently, there is a style of arabic dancing known as Khaleegy or Khaliji that involves flipping and swinging ones hair to the music. members.iinet.net.au/~damask/fig8/adani/khal.htm


Some videos of this dance. The hair flipping usually starts in the middle and continues to the end -

Pretty amazing stuff! If you find more, please post it here.


I hope Leona, Marranne and the other long haired ladies who frequent this forum will be inspired by this and try this dance.


Cheers,
