| Leila Haddad Oriental Dance |
 |
The extraordinary Tunisian-born Leila Haddad,
one of the world's premier Oriental dancers,
performs traditional dances of the
little-known Ghawazee (Gypsies) of southern
Egypt in the popular style. Her entrancing
program features the dances from which raqs
Sharqi (commonly referred to as "belly
dance") evolved. She has been at the
forefront in bringing this sensuous dance
form out of clubs and cabarets to the
theatrical stage, winning it recognition as a
noble art form and freeing it from the
degrading connotations of the past. She will
be accompanied by the Gypsy Musicians of
Upper Egypt, a 7-member ensemble that
includes members of the internationally
renowned Musicians of the Nile. This program
marks her New York debut.
