What is Pharaonic Dance? - Page 7
© Shira
It can be fun to explore Pharaonic dance as a change of pace in your creative process. But don't expect to find teachers, choreography, and methodology all ready for you to adopt. There is not much information available on the actual dances performed by the historical people, so you'll need to pursue your own creative vision and perform an interpretive dance. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you choose appropriate places to present it, and as long as you're honest about the fact that this is your own creation rather than an authentic historical re-enactment.
