Disney Belly Dancers: El Hagalla

For Megara I chose the Hagalla. What's the Hagalla? The ‘Hagalla’ is a woman’s folk dance step that originated in western Egypt/eastern Libya. Women (usually one girl, ‘el hagalla’) did this one step, resembling something like a three-quarter shimmy or a merengue step, while men clapped accompaniment, it's a dance whicht women traditionally perform at weddings.
The traditional costume for the dance would be a simple long dress with long sleeves, with a heavy unadorned scarf wrapped around the hips. For performances, the dress may be shorter (calf or knee length), the sleeves may be shorter, and the hip scarf looks like more of a ruffled apron and may be fringed.
