Egyptian Cabaret style is flambouyant, glamorous, graceful with overtones of ballet. When well done, it is a joy to watch. It is entertaining in that it presents the whole package, from rhinestone encrusted costume to intricate, internalised movements that are the hallmark of Egyptian cabaret dance.

Teaching this style involves exercises to strengthen and develop individual muscle groups in order to create the 'internalised' isolation of modern Egyptian dance. Performance skills are vital, the audience must be engaged and drawn into the dance via the dancer's skill at musical interpretation and presentation.

Egyptian cabaret is the most commonly learned style in the west, with Tribal coming a close second. It utilises various props such as veil and sagat, and epitomises all that is graceful and beautiful about Egyptian Dance.
