Katchy Khaleegy

Class Description: Khaleegy' or Khaliji (from Arabic خليج) is a mixture of modern style and traditional folkloric dance from the Persian Gulf countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The name of the dance literally means "gulf" in Arabic and it is performed by women at weddings and other social events. Over time it gained popularity among belly dancers.

Khaleegy style of dance is known for dynamic use of hair, arms, and hands which is different than the typical “hip” elements of belly dance. The costume is a lose robe style dress adorned with beautiful decorations and designs.
