Assala Ibrahim Gala Show
Drom in NYC, 02.21.14
Dancer/choreographer: Soma Hadia ([ Ссылка ])
Style: Saidi Raqs al Assaya
Song: "Saidi Salamat," from Helm el Raqs, compiled by Outi of Cairo (lyrics: [ Ссылка ])

Now based in Boston, Soma Hadia has taken a break from the professional scene, but continues to seek out and study Arab music and dance with exponents like Raqia Hassan, Karim Nagi, Kay Hardy Campbell, Amel Tafsout, and now Assala Ibrahim. This performance is from the Assala Ibrahim (Iraqi dancer) gala show at Drom in NYC. This choreography showcases Soma's personal style of Raqs Al Assaya, mixing the masculine and feminine techniques of the South Egyptian "dance of the stick."

Many thanks to her Saidi coach/mentor Karim Nagi ([ Ссылка ])
