The Middle Eastern Dance
Dispelling the myth of belly dancing staged just for men!
It is primarily the oldest expression and the surprising history of the Arabian people. The Middle Eastern Dance become the exaltation of the female figure. It was created as a dance "Women for Women" through which each could have told herself speechless.
This art form has developed into an incredible variety of styles. The dancer, in fact, combines with its delicate movements his personal history to that of humans. The female figure, always venerated as a source of life, finds its sublimation in this peculiar dance that enhances the concept of fertility, elegance and poise.
Bari: an arabic emirate
Did you know that the city of Bari was an Arab emirate? The regional capital was military-political entity ruled by a Muslim emir between the 847 and the 871. Countless cultural resources left to Bari in the years of domination, including the impulse to maritime activities and the commercial spirit that distinguishes us. It's also good to mention the enrichment of the art of embroidery, sweets and crafts in general.
