The Hair Dance
This dance from Saudi Arabia is sometimes called a "hair dance", because it
features the dancers' long, loose hair swinging from side to side, or being
tossed around in Figure 8's and circles. It's also known as Khaleegi or Gulf
dance. The dance is designed to show off two things: the dancers' hair, and
the colorful, highly decorated over-dresses (thobe nashal). This dance is
rarely seen in public, and is usually performed by women for (or with) other
women.
Traditional Saudi Arabian Dance
A living part of the country's ancient heritage, Saudi Arabia's music and
traditional dance echo the timeless melodies of chanting Bedouin poets and
singing swordsmen. Folklore music varies from region to region. The national
dance of Saudi Arabia, the men's sword dance known as the ardha, has its
roots in the Najd. It is an ancient tradition that combines singers,
dancers, and a poet or narrator. Men carrying swords stand shoulder to
shoulder and, from their midst, a poet begins to sing verses or a short
melodic line while drummers beat out a rhythm. In the Hijaz, the al-sihba
folk dance combines poetry and songs of Arab Andalusia in medieval Spain. A
traditional dance and song known as the al-mizmar is also performed in
Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah. This features the music of the al-mizmar, a
woodwind instrument similar to the oboe.
Saudi Arabian Music
The music varies from region to region – for example, in the Hijaz, the
music of al-sihba combines poetry and songs of Arab Andalusia, while the
folk music of Makkah and Madinah reflects these two cities’ influences from
throughout the Islamic world.
Trance dances of the Arabian peninsula
Not much is known about the tribal dances of Arabia Felix, as Saudi Arabia
was once known. Before the coming of Europeans, dancing bedouin women were
part of the rich Arab cultural heritage. Perhaps it will become a myth such
as the "forests of Arabia".
The woman on this ancient engraving dance a sort of Khaleezji style dance.
Swaying with their hair and bodies. The dresses were simple white robes. The
ancient Chalizj rhythm is related to ayoub, which is also an indication of
the origin (Raks Ayoub) as well as the name of the prophet Ayoub (Job). The
dance is a way to cope with the hardships of life an to get away from the
misery and stress. Therefore this dance was once considered as a healing
process. Early Islamic tradition was always tolerant towards the arts.

Saudi Arabian Dance Company
The Arabian Desert Stars
was founded by Americans in 1984. We became aware of Square
Dancing via a demonstration in 1989 and opened a Basic
Mainstream Class in the same year, one year later there also was
Plus. Seven years ago my wife Anna and I became presidents of
the club and began managing it. Our members come from USA,
Germany, England, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Lebanon, Vietnam,
the Philippines and Thailand. Natives, that is Saudi Arabians,
we unfortunately cannot accept as members because the are not
used to have men and women dance together and accepting them
into the club would therefore only cause problems.
