Hi Gloria,The replay without the glitches will be up by tomorrow. I'm sorry for that.Regarding your question, sometimes adding a slight knee bend each time you drop the hip bones down and straightening the legs when you bring the pelvis back up and toward neutral.  As you go faster, you will feel a bit of a bounce in the knees. I'll be sure to address your question in the next live.

Hi Tobina, we are editing. Should have that by tomorrow

These changes were:Plastic-headed darbuka drums, which use materials like Mylar, were developed in 1957 by Remo Belli and Sam Muchnick. This invention led to the creation of the Remo drumhead company. These plastic heads change the sound of the drum over the animal skin heads. The plastic heads allowed for sharper, louder accents on the tech and doom and also evolved new sounds like the pop or slap. Dancers always find creative ways to translate the sound; we can clearly see the Raqs Sharqi accents around this time also getting sharper and isolated. Another thing happened around this time... the ability to record music. This technological advance opened up new ways for musicians to create music specifically for dancers. Based on this info, I would mark the modern-style Raqs Sharqi drum solo as starting in the 60's.  Here is a clip of Azza Sherif dancing an amazing drum solo in 1978. https://youtu.be/r9w8ZQm3eVQ?si=ALaSGx-bBcmVXKqy
