Summer 2008 Workshops

Meleya Lef
The Melaya Lef became popular when many of Cairo’s famous performers such as Fifi Abdo and Reda Troupe develop choreographies as parodies of these ladies and the street language of the Melaya. Melaya Lef is a large black cloak or veil designed to fit loosely and cover the female form completely. The dance is playful and flirtatious with the ladies hiding their body in the black cloak and allowing the audience to get a peek. It was used by Egyptian women in the 1930 and 40's. Most notably are the women of Alexandria who developed a flirtatious language with the Melaya. The music used is up tempo and colloquial lyrics. Hip moves are playful and bouncy. These urban ladies became very skilled at using the language of the Melaya to find a suitor. Considered by many a folkloric dance from Alexandria it is sometimes called the Eskandarani or Iskandarani.
