Project Dance and Ethnocenology, of the Faculty of Dance of UFPA, with the research entitled
Saídi: A study on the Spectacularity, History and Memory of Traditional Egyptian Dance, which
resulted in the creation of a documentary video. The research unfolded in an Expanded Summary
called Raks al Assaya: the spectacularity of the female body in Saídi dance in contemporary
times, communicated at the XIII International Seminar on Dance Research at UFPA. For this, I
used as a theoretical and methodological reference the studies of Ethnocenology, through the
authors Pradier (1995), Bião (1996) and Amoroso (2009) and on the Arab dances Leão (2020)
and Mahaila (2016). The research was defined as research with a qualitative approach, through
the ethnocenological bias. Having as main objective studies, bibliographical research on the
culture, dance and folklore of the Arab countries, on Belly Dance, Ethnocenology and
Orientalism. I emphasize that as a practitioner and teacher of Arabic dances, the research
increased my knowledge framework to teach classes based on historical knowledge and not only
practical, but, mainly, with a theoretical-scientific reference, thus providing a better
understanding of the culture and traditions of the Arab people.
