"Belly Dance and the Art of Sword and Shemadan" by Princess Farhana DVD

This video by Princess Farhana provides a strong technical introduction to the use of specialty-balanced props. Beginning with a costumed sword performance, the video covers a warm-up aimed at strengthening the body for floor work; basic balance points; and provides a complete and fully broken down choreography (adaptable for sword or shamadan) geared towards intermediate/advanced level dancers who want to work with balanced props. Also included are safety and trouble-shooting tips; selecting and caring for balanced props, and history of balanced dances, concluding with a costumed raks shamadan performance. Available on DVD only.

46 minutes.

DID YOU KNOW...
Bellydance with a sword is rarely performed in the Middle East and North Africa. Bellydancing with a sword is depicted in at least one historical painting by Gerome in 1870. Although, there is no evidence that the sword was a common prop used by Mid-East and N. African dancers in the past. In 1968, Jamilla Salimpour reinacted a dance from the painting by Gerome in Jamilla's famous Bal Anat Renaissance Faire production in San Francisco. The performer Rhea was the sword dancer in that show. Since then, sword dancing has been widely popular as a prop used mainly in the US.
