【畳一畳分で踊ろう！お臍は出しません 】★ ベリーダンス の王道！「エジプシャン・バラディ」を基礎から学びます♩

 

皆様、こんにちは！シンガポール在住の日本人ベリーダンサー、ナディアです。

前タームでは、約3年ぶりに和フュージョン作品を発表し、皆様と表現を深めてまいりました。新作「STORM」は、難しい振付でしたが、踊る度に魅力が深まり、没頭するあまり、8週間があっという間に経ってしまいましたね！

「STORM」は「SAKURA SAKURA」に続く、特別で愛おしい和フュージョン作品となりました。是非ここから温めて、いろんなショーで踊ってくださいね。

新作「STORM」を逃した方は、動画レッスン(見逃し配信) でも振付が学べます。

ご興味ある方はお問い合わせください。

suenadia@gmail.com

尚、NADIA振付による和フュージョン作品の代表作「SAKURA SAKURA」は、この夏トルコで開催されるベリーダンス の祭典 "RAKKAS ISTANBUL 2025" にて、ワークショップで振付指導いたします。「SAKURA SAKURA」が海を渡り、トルコへ！

皆様も一緒にいらっしゃいませんか？ご興味ある方いらしたら、詳細をチェックしてみてね。告知ポスターを貼っておきます。

さて！オリエンタルダンスを「和」とフュージョンさせること (Japanese Oriental Fusion)を、ナディアはこれまでの活動の中で何度も試みていますが、そこには大切にしている信念があります。

それは、自分のスタイルを確立していく中に、しっかりとした "型" (軸) を持ち続けるということです。型破りという言葉がありますが、型が存在して初めて成り立つ言葉であり、そうでないとただの形無しになってしまうから涙、気をつけたいところです。

ナディアが踊るスタイルは、ベリーダンスの「オリエンタル」（ラクス・シャルキ）なので、その真髄を見失わないように意識して表現活動していきます。

★

では「オリエンタルとは」？と言うところに話を戻してみましょう。

現代のベリーダンスを「ラクス・シャルキ」（東方の踊り - "オリエンタルダンス"という意味）と称するのに対し、伝統的なスタイルのベリーダンスは「ラクス・バラディ」と呼ばれています。

「ラクス・シャルキ」のスタイルは、1920年代カイロのナイトクラブで生まれました。ナイトクラブの顧客である西洋人の好みに合わせて、お衣装もツーピース(ブラとスカート)、踊りのスタイルにも派手さを加え、いわゆる、西洋人からみた理想的なオリエンタリズムに合わせた演出を入れたのが、私たちが踊っている現代のベリーダンス「ラクス・シャルキ」の原型となるものです。ベールが使われ始めたのも西洋人の影響ね。

対して、伝統的なベリーダンスのスタイルは「ラクス・バラディ」（エジプトの踊り）と呼ばれていて、動きは繊細でちょっと地味？どことなく土臭さを感じる雰囲気があります。お衣装も露出を抑えたバラディドレスを着用し、大きなスペースを使わず、畳一畳分くらいで、小さめに踊ります。（逆にそれがとても難しい）。西洋人目線で演出が加えられた「ラクス・シャルキ」に比べて、誰に媚びることもなく、エジプトそのものを表現するのが「バラディ」と言う認識です。

近年のベリーダンス界隈では、「バラディ」が海を渡り、いわゆるフュージョンされ新しいスタイルも生まれていますね。「アルゼンチン・バラディ」（モダンバラディ ）もお洒落で素敵だから流行っていますね。NADIA ONLINEでも何度か取り上げて振付を教えてきました。

今回は、あえて、ピュアなエジプト音楽で踊りたくて、エジプシャン・バラディを選曲しています。（バラディにエジプシャンとつけるのも何だか違和感がありますが笑）。久しぶりに、ベリーダンスの原点に戻ってみませんか？

と言うのが、今タームのテーマとなります。

ベリーダンスが初めての方にも、わかりやすいように解説します。ご経験者の皆様は、今更聞けないエジプトスタイルのあれこれを、今タームで整理して、答え合わせをしてみてください。音源は、4分以内の短い楽曲「BALADI YASMINA」を選曲しました。エジプトエッセンスがギュッと詰まった演目なので、踊っていてめちゃくちゃ楽しいと思います。

「BALADI YASMINA」どうぞお楽しみに！！

​

DANCE is the hidden language of the soul. 

【NEW TERM START】★ Let's learn the classic bellydancing! Start with basics of the techniques & choreography of "Egyptian Baladi" ♩

  

Hello everyone! I'm Nadia, a Japanese bellydancer based in Singapore.


Last term, we presented a Japanese fusion piece for the first time in about three years, and deepened our expression with everyone. The new piece, "STORM" is not an easy choreography, but it became more and more fascinating with each practice of dance. We were so engrossed that the eight weeks flew by, don't we?


"STORM" is a special and beloved Japanese fusion piece following "SAKURA SAKURA". I hope you'll get completed the choreography and dance in various shows.

If you missed the term of our new work ""STORM", you can also learn the choreography through video lessons.


If you are interested, please contact us.


suenadia@gmail.com


In addition, "SAKURA SAKURA" a representative Japanese fusion work choreographed by NADIA, will be choreographed in a workshop at the bellydance festival "RAKKAS ISTANBUL 2025" to be held in Turkey this summer. "SAKURA SAKURA" will cross the sea and head to Turkey!


Would you like to join us? If you are interested, please check the details. I will post an announcement poster.

https://rakkasistanbul.com/program

Well, Nadia has tried to fuse oriental dance with "Japanese" (Japanese Oriental Fusion) many times in this decade, but there is a belief that she holds dear.


That is, to maintain a strong "form" (axis) while establishing one's own style. There is a word "unconventional", but it is a word that only works if there is a form, otherwise it will just be formless, so it is something to be careful of.


Nadia's style of dancing is "oriental" (raqs sharqi) bellydancing, so she will be conscious of not losing sight of its essence in her expressions.


★


So let's go back to the question of "what is oriental" ? 


Modern bellydancing is called "RAQS SHARQI" (means "dance of the east" = "oriental dance"), while the traditional style of belly dancing is called "RAQS BALADI". 


The "RAQS SHARQI" style was born in a nightclub in Cairo in the 1920s. In order to suit the tastes of the Western customers of nightclubs, the costumes were two-piece (bra and skirt), the dance style was made more flashy, and the performance was added to match the ideal orientalism seen by Westerners, which is the prototype of the modern belly dance we dance, "RAQS SHARQI". The use of veils was also influenced by Westerners.


In contrast, the traditional style of belly dance is called "RAQS BALADI" (means Egyptian dance), and the movements are delicate and a little plain? There is a somewhat earthy atmosphere. The costumes are baladi dresses that do not expose much skin, and the dance is small, about the size of a tatami mat, rather than using a large space. (On the contrary, this is very difficult). Compared to "RAQS SHARQI", which was performed from a Western perspective, "BALADI" is recognized as expressing Egypt itself without pandering to anyone.


In recent years, in the bellydance industry,"BALADI" has crossed the ocean and has been fused, giving birth to a new style. "Argentine Baladi" (Modern Baladi) is also trendy because it is stylish and beautiful. NADIA ONLINE has featured it several times and taught the choreography.


This time, I deliberately chose Egyptian Baladi because I wanted to dance to pure Egyptian music. (It feels a bit strange to add the word of "Egyptian" to Baladi though). Why not go back to the classic style and learn the origins of bellydancing for the first time in a while?


That is the theme of this term.

We will explain in an easy-to-understand way even for those who are new to bellydancing. For those of you who have experience, try sorting out all the Egyptian style questions you may have been too embarrassed to ask about and checking your answers in this term. For the audio, we have selected a short song, "BALADI YASMINA" less than 4 minutes long. It's a piece packed with Egyptian essence, so I think it will be a lot of fun to dance.


Please look forward to "BALADI YASMINA"  to dance with us! 




\ The new term starts on 3/20 (Thu) /

​DANCE is the hidden language of the soul. 

【Happy New Year】★ 2025's first term starts on January 8th. NEW「Japanese Oriental Fusion」dance with Tsugaru shamisen music, charity report... and more

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

\ It's the Year of the Snake /

The snake is said to have been associated with goddess worship as a symbol of rebirth in the ancient world, as it grows by repeatedly shedding its skin.

Even in today's belly dance, there is a movement called "snake arm" that imitates a snake, but if you unravel the history of belly dance, you will see that it is deeply connected to "life".

Every time I dance belly dance, I feel like I am repeatedly shedding my skin like a snake and gaining the strength to live again and again. This year, I will dance with care, laugh, and work hard, with a sudden surge of luck.

Let's make 2025 a good year!

"𝐈 ❤︎ 𝐓𝐎𝐊𝐘𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐅𝐋𝐀!" Project

Thank you for your support and report on the charity.

One year since the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

Last year, on New Year's Day, the Noto Peninsula earthquake occurred while I was visiting my hometown in Ishikawa Prefecture, and I started the year with a sad feeling. Also, there was very little I could do as an individual, so I spent the year with a heartbreaking feeling about my home town.

In order to lead to the recovery of the disaster-stricken areas so that the victims can have a vision for the future, it is still necessary to steadily rebuild their lives and livelihoods. We also need to know the fact that the recovery has not progressed at all.

Although it is really a small effort (but I thought it was better than doing nothing), I started a project to collect donations at an event I planned myself.

　　　　

The "𝐈 ❤︎ 𝐓𝐎𝐊𝐘𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐅𝐋𝐀!" project is a charity project to collect your "❤︎" little by little and deliver "❤︎" to the place and time when it is needed.

This time, the project sold goods for the first time at 𝗧𝗢𝗞𝗬𝗢 𝗛𝗔𝗙𝗟𝗔 𝘃𝗼𝗹.𝟰, held on December 21, 2024, and collected a lot of "❤︎" from visitors and online participants from Japan and abroad, and sales of T-shirts, postcards, and other items reached 𝟭𝟮𝟯,𝟬𝟱𝟬 yen! 

While I was surprised by the amount, which was higher than I expected, I also felt a warmth, thinking that perhaps everyone was also looking for a way to “help.”

We are pleased to announce that the entire amount of the sales, 𝟭𝟮𝟯,𝟬𝟱𝟬 yen, was donated to the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund through the Japanese Red Cross Society on December 26, 2024.

We are very grateful for everyone’s heartfelt donations and feelings. Thank you very much.

We would like to continue the activities of this “𝐈 ❤︎ 𝐓𝐎𝐊𝐘𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐅𝐋𝐀!” project in the future.

　　　

Well. For the first work of 2025, we have selected 「STORM」from the song by Yoshida Brothers, Japan's proud Tsugaru shamisen artists, and presented it as a Japanese fusion belly dance piece choreographed by NADIA. We would like to share the choreography with everyone and dance together.

In this work, 「STORM」 the sound of the Tsugaru shamisen falls on the whole body like fierce, cold snow. Let's dance with the Japanese spirit of perseverance that does not give in to rain, snow, storms, or natural disasters, and let's start 2025 with a sudden rise in good fortune.

Please prepare the silk fan veils.

Possibly white color as we will dance with "snowing storm".

\ The new term starts on 1/8 (Wed) /

Now, looking back, this is the fifth Japanese fusion belly dance piece choreographed by NADIA. Japanese fusion has been presented once every three years.

■ 2012 - Matsuri 饗宴 music by Kitaro

■ 2015 - Gafuu 我風 music by Hiromitsu Agatsuma

■ 2018 - Sakura Sakura music by Rin'

■ 2021 - Ranka 乱華 music by Rin'

■ 2025 - Storm 嵐 music by Yoshida Brothers

When dancing with the theme of "Japanese," we always incorporate Japanese "nature" and "seasonal feeling" without even realizing it. Our cultural custom of appreciating flowers, birds, wind, and moon is the very essence of "Japaneseness," and since ancient times, Japanese artists have always incorporated expressions of appreciation of "nature" into their songs and dances, captivating people. Incorporating expressions of admiration of "nature" into dance is a concept that is not able to be seen in ballet, flamenco, nor belly dance, and I think it is unique to Japan.

I would also like to touch on the meaning of fusing "Japanese" with bellydance and the differences with Japanese dance, and pursue a new "elegant form" that overlaps the feminine expression unique to oriental dance. It would also be good to discuss the essence and characteristics of both in the lesson!

There are actually a certain number of Japanese fusion fans who are not attracted to Japanese traditional dance, but are extremely attracted to Japanese "fusion" in bellydance. I often receive messages from them on Instagram. I would like to know the reasons why everyone is attracted to it. For example, I love the process of something different coming together to create something new. The fun of fusion is also in the fact that it reveals the dancer's sense and creativity. If Japanese traditional dance is about inheriting classical dance forms that have been protected for hundreds of years and protecting traditions, then fusion is about internationally marrying dances from faraway countries to create new cultural styles.

It's a lot of fun to use your creativity to choose your costumes, but there are also some little tricks to show off "Japaneseness," such as how to match colors, how to use props, and detailed movements. I would like to share with you the world of Japanese fusion that NADIA creates.

Let's pursue the "Japaneseness" that is different from other Asian dances, including Chinese or Korean dances. Please look forward to the new "JAPANESE ORIENTAL FUSION" work!

During the weeks you are off, videos will be sent to you so that you can learn the choreography thoroughly without any waste.

There is no teacher nearby who you want to learn from...?  There is no belly dance class in the first place...?  Even if there is, it is too difficult to get started... Have you given up on starting for such reasons?

"NADIA ONLINE on ZOOM" is a popular lesson that started during the COVID-19 pandemic. You are free to turn the screen on/off and join or leave at any time, so if you are embarrassed to be seen dancing, you can turn the screen off, and conversely, if you want to improve by dancing with the screen on, you can participate in the lesson at your own pace and stance.

In addition, the lesson fee is also low, which is unique to online classes. You can take the course for a monthly fee of $150 (¥12,500) / month, or a package of $250 (¥20,000) / 2 months.

It is a term system, and one term is two months (8 weeks) to master the choreography of one song! Lessons are 4 days a week, 3 classes per day, 40 classes per month, you can take as many as you like. You can participate in any class, including basic classes, choreography classes, and yoga classes, as many times as you like without making a reservation. In addition, you will receive an explanatory video once a week so that you can learn the choreography even if you miss a lesson.

We also hold wonderful TOKYO HAFLA every year in December, so that you can present what you have learned.
