Hair Dance From Saudi Arabia

Hair dance is an old traditional dance that’s been performed by Arab women in weddings and many other celebrations in some middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE. This type of traditional dance was almost completely forgotten in Saudi Arabia until the popularity of Shaila music* rose and people started to perform Hair dance again with it. Hair dance is also nowadays pop with belly dancers and is being taught in dance schools in countries like Russia, Ukraine and China.

* Shaila music is a new trend that is very different from usual Arabic music. a Shaila vocal is usually a verse form that is sung with a fast musical rhythm and loud music. Most music in this video are shaila songs.
