Thread: What type of Khaliji?

I would like your opinion....please!!!!

This is a young girl that is really amazing( I think).
I dont know exactly what type of khaliji is this.I think it's Iraqi Style.
But I m not aware of this style.I would appreciate if you could give me some information



The same girl and choreo here.

Wow, bless her neck!

Looks to me as a fusion of Oriental, a little Khaleegi (more in the back-hip push than the hair tossing), a lot of Zar-inspired moves (the extreme hair-tossing and the floorwork), and some fantasy.

Bless her neck, indeed. I hope she can still bow her head by the time she's thirty.

Doesn't look like any khaleeji I've seen, but I am far from expert on the matter. I'd call it Oriental Fantasy.

From what little I have gleemed of Iraqi style I would say thats is what it looks like to me. I see it in the hip bumps and hand/head getures and also that sloppy way of dropping to the floor when the hand hits the floor. Amazing to watch.

She is performing a VERY exaggerated and VERY adapted-for-the-stage Iraqi style dance.

Thank you all!!!

PS.I love this forum!!!!!!!!!!!

Music is denfinitly Iraqi (Kawliya), dancing also, however it is missing the real feeling and the head turns to the back are not really used.

This is supposed to be Iraqi but it is far from authentic. Sorry but makes me really sad as this 'style' is spreading like wildfire throughout YouTube and before you know it people will think this is the real Iraqi style.

this is an over commercialized version of a type of dance you find in Iraq , northern and central Arabia ..

Ouch! Arthritis coming up! - Just watching that makes my neck hurt, looks very dangerous to me.
