"EL TANOURA", THE EGYPTIAN SPINNING DANCE (VIDEO UPLOADED)

During the Egypt trip in 2004, we had a dinner cruise on the Nile River in Cairo and enjoyed watching belly dance and El Tanoura which is the Egyptian spinning dance. I have seen several times belly dance on TV, but it was the first time to see El Tanoura; it was quite impressive and amazing to see a dancer performing such a dance for over 30 minutes without feeling dizzy.
My uncles said he also saw belly dance and El Tanoura in Turkey, but they are more like a part of religious ceremony.
