"Dance Like an Egyptian" instructional DVD by Mohamed Shahin!!!!

In this DVD you will find 2 complete choreographies by Mohamed Shahin
First: Um Kulthoum's famous piece "Ansak." Technique plus choreography breakdown.
Second: "Eliayal Elbi'a" -- Cairo Shaabi street dance, technique & choreography breakdown.

"Ansak?" is one of Um Kulthoum's timeless classics. In Arabic, "ansak" means "forget you," but in this song, "ansak" is asked as a question. The singer is asking, "forget you?" Her answer is never. This is an emotional piece that speaks across generations and cultures.
In choreographing this song, I translated the lyrics into movement. Hence you will see a lot of hand gestures that correspond to the meaning of the words. The translation of the lyrics has been made available for your reference.

"Eliayal Elbi'a" by contemporary Shaabi masters Saad Elsogheir & Rico is a silly song that pokes fun at Cairo's urban "ghetto" life. You can see a lot of the movements I do in this choreography at any shaabi street wedding in Cairo. Like my Um Kulthoum choreography, this dance is replete with typical Caireen hand gestures. This song is is very energetic, has a driving rhythm, and is quite funny. A translation of the lyrics is also available for your enjoyment.
