Pharonic

The Pharonic Dance

This choreography takes beautiful new age music & fuses it with the most ancient of Egyptian movement. Taking poses found in the art of Pharonic times, this choreography emulates the feelings and movements that might have been performed by the dancers of Ancient Egypt. The choreography is flowing, seamless, beautiful and very mysterious.
If you would like to learn and/or perfect some key abdominal movements while learning those ultra smooth snaky lamp hand/ arm movements, you should definitely learn this breathtakingly beautiful dance.
As you can see from the photo, the Pharonic Dance incorporates the use of lamps into the choreography. Dancing with lamps is visually stunning to watch, which explains why lamps are far and away the most popular prop from an audience's perspective, making the ability to dance w/ lamps an exciting skill to add to your dance repertoire.
