Nougoum el sharq

"Nougoum el sharq" dance the oriental dance from Egypt. "The veil supports the dance and assumes of a dancing partner", Doreen describes the feeling when dancing with the widely used requisite. They use cymbals, small instruments that are creating the rhythm. Traditionally sticks and cloths are used but in modern times new accessories were added and create further possibilities of expression. The Isis-wings, named after the wife of the Egyptian god Osiris, fan veils and Pois, a veil attached to a ball, make oriental dance especially diverse. 
The different background of the four women of "Nougoum el sharq" makes the dance so special. Furthermore, the main focus is on the femininity of the dance and the training of the dance itself-, says "Nougoum el sharq" member Ivonna, - it is all about controlling the body in the belly dance movements. That makes you fit and agile.

Oriental dance, which originated in Egypt, by mistake is often equated with the colloquial belly dance, which does not express all facets of the movements. The attribution of oriental dance as a "female dance" is also inaccurate: both in the past and today it is danced by men as well. In Egypt, dance has played an important role from the very beginning. Numerous wall paintings from the ancient Egypt give testimony to its importance for religious and secular festivities. Due to the lack of historical sources, knowledge about the origin, development and purpose of oriental dance is still unclear. However, the traditional dance has been influenced and extended by modern dance styles and modern accessories.
