Songs used in the Fall of 2014 for my Egyptian raqs (belly dance) classes in San Francisco. We went back and forth quite a bit between different kinds of songs, from 'classic' to 'baladi' to 'shaabi'. The goal was to focus on songs that had repetition and how to stay interesting, interested, and in the moment as dancers. (And wow--8 tracks lets me do 11 tracks now!)

This is only a small sample of what we dance to. Come check out a class if you are ever in San Francisco! monicaraqs.com

Enjoy!
