Some of these these styles were made very popular by the Reda Troupe who used various folkloric styles and reproduced them for stage and they were audience friendly, although no longer "authentic" as they were changed or exaggerated for stage performances.
We will explore a variety of folk styles from Hagalla, Fellahi, Saidii, Beladi, to Debke, Shaabi, Zorba and Persian to name a few.
