Belly Dance
"Belly Dancing" originates from the folkloric dances of the Middle East. Some of these dances were religious or spiritual in nature, others designed for court or harem entertainment, others celebratory. Regional and cultural variations have given birth to many different dance styles, each with particular music and costumes. The style of belly dancing most Westerners recognize is a relatively new (20th century) fusion of many different Middle Eastern dance steps with a generous dollop of Hollywood and western ballet steps thrown in. see it on YouTube
Belly Dancer for free every Friday night or on demand, to be reserved one day before for PLN 350,-
Water Pipe
One of the oldest and deep rooted traditions in Lebanon is the Arguile (Shishah), with both men and women finding great pleasure in smoking the water pipe. The "Shishah" has been the standard of smoking for centuries in the Middle East and originated in Turkey over 900 years ago. During the Ottoman Empire, when time passed slowly, smoking an "Arguile" water pipe was one of the ways of whiling away the time among the elite living in big cities. The original Arguile came from India, but it was rather primitive. Its popularity spread to Iran and then to the rest of the Arab world. But it was in Turkey that the Arguile completed its revolution, and did not change its style for the last few hundred years.
We welcome you to try to smoke the Arguile in a Lebanese ambiance, while enjoying some mezzeh and drinking Arak.
Water pipe (strawberry or apple flavor) PLN 75,-.
