WHAT:
Immerse yourself in Saidi, a vibrant folkloric dance from Upper
Egypt, also known as the Said. This dynamic style is rooted in
Tahtib, an ancient martial art that has stood the test of
time.
Saidi dance
is known for its lively, grounded movements, incorporating
striking, spinning, rowing, flipping, and twirling motions.
Traditionally, there are two types of Saidi stick dance: Raks
Assaya, performed by women, and Tahtib, practiced primarily by
men.
