#Repost @courtofmorjana with @grabapp "Raqs Sharqi," as you all know means "eastern dance." Every country in the Middle East has their own version of raqs sharqi including Iraq. Court of Morjana have been been collecting and archiving many examples of Iraqi sharqi dance and music in preparation for deeper discussion in the future. However, for now, we have decided to grab just a few clips from our catalog to share with you. This montage illustrates some examples of the danceand music in films dating from 1950s through to the early 1970s of "bellydance" in Iraq. Though it has a traditional "sharqi" feel, it does differ from our friends in Egypt, Lebanon, and Turkey. More details of Iraqi sharqi with examples to follow, but for now we hope this will further inspire the dance world to the wonders of Iraq, that have sadly been set aside for so many years due to its constant turmoil.
