Ala Nar Dance 

This is a choreography in the old style of Egyptian Cabaret dance. In the last half of the 20th Century Egyptian Cabaret has been highly influenced by western forms of dance. Schadia’s dance to Ala Nar harkens back to the days, before those western influences, when Egyptian cabaret was closer to the folk and gypsy dances of Egypt.
The song Ala Nar, which means “On Fire!” in Arabic is a classic favorite among Egyptians and Middle Easterners alike. It is a song about love and being on fire with passion! Oh la la.
