The wonderful realm of Turkish oryantal

Fanoos Magazine is thrilled to share a new contribution inspired by our upcoming special issue dedicated to Vintage Raqs Sharqi — the golden era of Oriental dance that continues to enchant and influence dancers around the world.

Recently, we received a thoughtful submission from a writer who discovered our call for articles on Instagram. Their piece delves into the Turkish influence on classic Raqs Sharqi, exploring how the vibrant Turkish style evolved alongside Egyptian dance traditions during cinema’s most glamorous decades.

In this insightful article, the author reflects on the artistry, costuming, and cinematic moments that defined Turkish dance — from cabaret stages to unforgettable movie scenes. Toward the end of the article, they reference several rare vintage film fragments, which are now available for readers to enjoy through the downloadable and linked materials attached above.
