We gave our souls and minds some rest and then a more secular performance took place.
The dancer entered the room and her shiny red dress spoke to us: “I know how to shake it.” When we finally turned our eyes away from striking red that embraced her thighs we realized her face looked somewhat Asian. Her dance was so beautiful and to me she was a real artist, the dress emphasized her every move: way it changed colors from bright to dark and it seemed like her whole body moved at the same time, she was shaking every inch of it.
To me her dance was an art; it was never even close to erotic. Maybe her dress would stir minds there, but if she danced in Slovenia she would have to take some off to make a similar effect. There was a lot of acting too: she asked women to touch her vibrating belly and when men did so she would slap their hands, she really tried to make us laugh with her humor and smile and her mission was accomplished.
Afterwards I tried to seek for the indecent parts of the dance and I found that there were some indications of her impurity: she was going from one male dance to another and she couldn’t make up her mind which one to dance with, finally she danced with both. Maybe one could conclude that she was easy, slutty and into orgies, though to make this out of the whole story you would really have to go into things too much.
Ok there was some hint of animalism when she kissed a man dressed up as a horse, but it was all hidden in a joke. Maybe they wanted to show us discreetly that this isn’t considered just dancing.
At the end of the day I think belly dancing show was the best thing I experienced in Egypt.Labels: belly, dance, egypt, fun |
