New Article: Middle Eastern Martial Mime in the Sword, Stick, and Cane Dance

Drawings found in prehistoric caves show ritual dances depicting primitive men with spears raised overhead in ceremonial hunting dances, which preceded the actual hunts. Though still performed, some martial dances have lost their original significance.

Modern Turkey boasts of a sword and shield dance which, when performed, is a throwback to the era when the participants were conscripts and mercenaries engaged in a death dance of choreographed military exercises. Stories of battle are pantomimed in a martial arts ritual using a spear, stick, cane, and sword.

New Article: Sohair Zaki✨

Sohair Zaki is one of the legends of Egypt. Last year she visited the United States with a large musical group and performed in Los Angeles. She was in excellent condition, and she never looked better. I have several of her performances on video which I have collected over the years and I would like to share some of my observations with you.
