Thread: Wanted: Line dance/debke DVD recommendations

Can anybody here recommend a DVD that teaches basic line dances? Ideally, a bit of debke, and a bit of other line dances from "over there" (i.e., all those countries from Greece over the Balkans to Egypt where people know what to do when they get up to fun music).

I've been looking for just such a thing for some time myself, so I'll look forward to suggestions. In the meantime, is there a folk dance organization in your area? Our local Jewish community center runs an evening of international folk dancing (which I've been meaning to get to one of these days, heh), which teaches, from the look of it, mostly debke.

www.littleegypt.com has a 2004 & 2005 Magdy El Leisy Debke workshop videos/ dvds available. Might want to try with them.

Amir Thaleb has a debke dvd out as well. Im pretty sure you can order thru him on his website by emailing them. http://www.amirthaleb.com/bazar.asp
