Tito Egyptian male Raks Sharki (Oriental Dance/belly Dance)

[@weykapuy]

I never get tired of watching this video. What i like the most in Tito is that he's not only an excelent dancer, but he dances like what he is: a man. He doesn't pretend to be a woman. He's coming to my country, and may God i can be there to learn from him.

[@sharonazar1]

this guy is the real deal...I haven't seen any belly dancer do what he does..he has soul, spirit and great moves....bravo Raks Sharki!!!

[@angielabelle34france83]

Tito is a Real artist. He is genius and je brings joy to my heart. Love tito.bravo master belly dancer❤❤❤👌

[@newyorkusa9155]

I'm from USA, New York, this guys amazing,

[@tariksultan]

That's why I love the Egyptian style so much. Not only do you use your whole body, but you have to engae all your emotions. You also have to connect with your audience and have a sense of humor as well. Its a total mind body and emotions connection all expressing the music at the same time.

2:42 the lady in red with her hands up 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@paulpetritsis]

it's like a spell! you can't get enough of his dancing! his whole body is vibrating music!God bless him...

[@ronenj53]

The song is absolutely was born for the arab world !!! Flawless 💎💎💎💎 Saber El Robay his best song ever !!!

[@julspower]

i completely understand!!! i cant get enough of him. as far as movement and crowd pleasing, this man has it all. he moves not like a man nor a woman but sooo smoothly. i lo0ve him. i want more videos!!

[@LourdesCruz-Cuba]

Love it! After having seen him dance both live and on DVD to very steady choreographies, i really enjoy even more seeing him dancing what i think is improvisation (looks very spontaneous) or posibly half/choreography. This is what i like the most: real Egyptian flavour. You gotta love Tito's bellydance talent!

[@taymaanaser3926]

Love him can watching him for ever

[@tariksultan]

This was actually at the Nile Group Festival in Giza. Tito dances regularly in Sharm el Shiekh in Saini at the Alf Layla wa Layla.

[@adrianahamad]

Tito in my opinion is one of they BEST male bellydancers I've ever seen with my eyes...This man CAN DANCE!!!!I know for a fact that Tito is loved and supported by bellydance world in the U.S.A Due all respect to those who think and feel other wise..Tito,were ever you.We ALL love and support you..

[@fmiller36]

Tito Seif... you are wonderful... so inspiring.

[@Izabalicious]

Thanks Hanzelheidi. I was at my gym practicing my bellydancing with other students and to my surprise a photographer came and took pictures of the participants but I was pointed out since I was the only male dancer. I received a lot of compliments and support from the women students. So I will keep shimmying until my body gives out.

[@YogaBlissDance]

THanks for the explanation under the video, this really is just an extension of a more traditional dance that everyone did! I feel like in the West our take on "belly dancing" is so limited as we don't know enough about the cultures. I met a girl from Mali in Africa and they "belly dance" too, she says they start learning when they are young. Yet you don't tend to see it associated iwth Africa (in the general public's mind.)

[@tariksultan]

That's it exactly. The dance is a form of expression. You can express anything you want to. When its done socially, its an expression of fun, but in a nightclub, because of the costume, it makes things look more sensual.

[@unicornakhalteke]

I love the song and the dance of this man! Great!

[@ronenj53]

Flawless Unique and amazing song !!! 💙💙💎💎

[@jmhodder]

My first time seeing a male belly dancer and I've really enjoyed it!! Just as captivating as women!

[@tariksultan]

2: However, now men are also begining to do the professional version, RAKS SHARKI. It is a more accurate reflection of the real culture for both men AND women to perform this dance, since both men and women dance Baladi. Look at the other clips in my collection especially the interviews and educate yourself.

[@MizRoxy2005]

Awwwwwwwwwwesome! No way can you not be affected by his absolute joy in dancing! Probably watched most of the KZbin videos of Tito now and really think he's incredible. Next step - check where he is performing and go and see him live! Woo hoo!

[@ScorpionGirlabc]

Does anyone know the singer and title of this song? Belly dance is an art form, and I think he's gifted when it comes to that. Yes he's a male, but his good at dancing and does some difficult steps - that some females cant even do as well as he does. Its nice to see him dance the way he does!

[@ronenj53]

"Bebasata" - the name of thw singer is: Saber El Robaey

[@iambusy9861]

​@@ronenj53هههه تلقيه مات 😂😂😂😂

[@angielabelle34france83]

Love you master tito.you are the best belly dancer.a Real artist ❤❤❤

[@tariksultan]

And you're telling me you've never seen guys dancing baladi at a party or wedding? Where are you from for god's sake?

[@ZeffrixSidekixEvix]

wonderful. he's far more graceful and expressive than some of the female hopefuls we see on youtube. bravo!

[@randomterran3260]

Egyyyypt

[@atoosas]

I pretty much decided I will never be able to dance anywhere close to Tito. He is extremely talented and his style is extremely energetic. I attended some of his workshops, and they were just incredible.

[@tashacook281]

HE HAS HIPS AND WILL TRAVEL! COME TO LOS ANGELES YOU EGYPTIAN ANGEL!

[@ronenj53]

This beautiful song shows me how much I love arabic music. The beautiful words, the wonderful melody, and the perfect singer are remarkable and outstanding. They are absolutely stunning ! I love the way Tito dances to this excelent rhythm. I wish I could show you - Tito how I dance this marvellous song and hopefully would dance it , with you together. Tito I love when you smile to everyone, with warmth , and sweetness. You are a great performer and such a gifted dancer, but very modest and kind. This video is the most beautiful and amazing ever ! I can watch it so many times and still now. I'll keep do that , because It brings me joy and pleasure.

!!!!great!!! I,m mexican and love egyptian music, he is a wonderful dancer,,,,god bless middle east

[@aztcqn]

It's not so much the moves, but his great joy of life in his moves. He owns it beautifully.

[@Spomeni73]

Can someone here, anyone, please make Tito aware about his growig youtube fan base. He deserves to know he is being sincerely admired. Mashalla!

[@syilo21]

this man is FIERCE!!! i understand the cultural limitations and views of a male belly dancer and i applaud tito. he's amazing!! -sa3eeda

[@Lucero2405]

I can't believe he dances better than me " a woman " i never get enough of him, he's really but really gooooooood! HI TITO! Nice dance.

[@tariksultan]

Dear Sergio I read all your comments and this is getting back to a discussion we had months ago. Understand that the acceptance this dance has in the West now is because of a lot of hard work on the part of dancers to be taken seriously. There are still people in the dance community who do not think of this as a real dance and many times when we tried to participate in dance events we were denied, so the dance was hurt by the stereotype.

[@Pisces77]

Tito is truly tres magnifique! I've traveled to Dubai many times however I never got the chance to see male bellydancers and I have to say Tito gives the women a run for their money cause he is amazing!

[@lilnaospree]

He came to NYC in July. He had WS and show, and I attended both of them, and it was great! Hope he comes back next year.

[@mirsouf]

I didnt say that all men are better dancers than women. I think this man is the best belly dancer I have ever seen. And as you all probably noticed this men sparkless. He not only does some dance moves.. he gives you a certain feeling that you just want to stand up and dance with him and you cant stop looking and you just feel good. I dont think all male dancers are better than women but this one is!

[@sutil41]

My mouth water with anticipation just by looking at this man!! he dance sooo good!!!

[@KathleenEvans]

This was a refreshing change! To see a man enjoy the art of dance...I so enjoyed this! I wanted to get up and dance with him. Thanks so much for posting!

[@Cesc8170]

He dances like this for his public and for him. A wonderfull way for someone to find self-realization =)))))

[@betsarama]

Excellent! The simple style of dress is so effective. Women should take note. It allows the dancer's expression to be clear. Such a great performance! Thank you for posting.

[@XYBellydance]

I saw him dance. He is a very good and charismatic dancer!I enjoyed his performance, and the best: he always smiling:)

[@redfoxyk]

Wow! I am quite impressed with his timeing and transitions. What got me the most is that he maintained his masculinity while doing it. Sadly, my experience with male dancers is they are gay or bi and having fun playing with their feminine side. I think this is very tasteful and female dancers could take a good note from him. He was ALWAYS smiling and got the audience involved right off the bat! I've never heard of Tito, but I think I shall look formore of him in the future.

[@zeedrippyvessel]

beautiful! Stunning! WOW! I've never seen or heard of a male belly dancer and this was just... amazing! WOW!

[@arla37]

Simply AMAZING, it would be to awesome to see him dancing with SADIE. AWESOME, he is the best male belly dancer and Sadie the best female belly dancer.

[@Spomeni73]

I can not stop coming back to this performance since I found this video several months ago. Thank you for posting it!!! Tito is a great performer, artist and a master to learn from. A true inspiration. Anyone who said he looks gay is far from the truth - you can see that he puts his heart and spirit entirely into his dance, what's gay about this? It is called genius and skill, by the way.

[@innak100]

Thnx so much for sharing it with the rest of the world! It is my first time seeing male belly dancer- he is so natural in his moves and it is a great enjoyment to watch him entertain the crowd. Thnx again!!!

[@mariaf3]

tito is an amazing dancer ,such controlled moves he made them look so good and smooth, i could watch him again and again. thanks for posting

[@dinavienna]

the guy is lovely, the way he enjoys the music and is all smiling. watch it for the second time and he makes me joyous even more than the first one :D

[@hottestday]

Love that comment! anyone with any intelligence would know that dance has no sexuality. I have seen many belly dancers but Tito has an outstanding style. love the smile on his face while dancing.

[@newyorkusa9155]

I'm American , this guys amazing

[@amiraXOXO]

AWW i remember seeing him in 2003 in Sharm El Sheikh when he first started to get recognized. he was all by himself back then with just his tubla

[@numofan]

hey - I'm so glad you posted this. Tito is a fantastic cancer, and it is *great* to see a guy onstage. I hope to get to see one of Tito's shows one day. He's elegant, graceful, very masculine, and very much in tune with the music.

[@Crazyofchocolate]

Smallah! Mashallah! Once of the best dancers ever!

[@gent491]

I believe this is the first video for Tito on youtube. Now, there are many very good video clips of Tito and in my opinion this one sill the best. many thanks Tariq.

[@tine7v]

yeah, you are right... i give her a credit though... he's such a good dancer! so graceful!

[@tlahuele69]

I'm in love of this dance, of the folk of that country and, of course, the sensuality of Tito moves; thanks for give us this incredible material, now I'm waiting for him,he comes to my country in june: welcome Tito to the marvelus,magical country, Mèxico.

[@ancestralfirekeeper]

Oh, my goooooodnesssss! mmmmm mmmmm MMMM! This man is inside the music. What an inspiration! Beautiful! Thank you for posting! Keep dancing, Tito!!

[@tariksultan]

Yes he did dance with the scarf, they have to so you can see the movements. Tito is just a theatricalized version of what you see in the traditional areas. The appliques on the Galabeya are just for dramatic effect because he's on stage. This stuff is a part of the real traditional culture and you know what? People all over the world LOVE IT. No kidding. They think it's very beautiful and moving. You would really be surprised how positive their opinion of it is.

[@lollylane]

fantastic timing, musical expression,graceful, masculine, complete command of stage space, charismatic, professional.......

[@AmayaWiseWoman]

I adore Tito. His joy shines!

[@japope1982]

fabulous! I'm just learning egyptian belly dance and think he's exceptionally skilled. Thanks for posting

[@SleepyheadV2]

I just took his workshop....HE IS AMAZING! So much better in person!!!

[@planetsuzanna]

Tito's performance at Movenpick last November 2006 is still in my heart today. (I told him how amazing I thought he was, but I don't think he understood my English). As a dancer who is connected with the Arab and Egyptian community in the US, I hear a lot of negative comments about male belly dancing, which makes me sad. If it's hot, it's hot; and if it's art, it's art. Tito is the best of both....and magical. I could watch him endlessly, and when he performs he seems to know this.

[@TRUTHTEACHER2007]

You've just summed up the situation perfectly. Most of them are driven to dancing out of sheer poverty and desperation, not a concept of artistic expression, but then again, most people forget that even in the West the concept of being an entertainer strictly for artistic passion is a rescent thing. It was always economics and poverty. Even ballarinas 60yrs ago were considered the same way dancers in Egypt are today. Your right, most of them want to be home not in public

[@tariksultan]

WONDERFULL! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

[@bellyrockin]

This guy can really dance! He looks like he's enjoying it, too I love this song

[@tariksultan]

What I'm trying to communicate to you is that YOU do not see it that way, but there are still plenty of people out there WHO DO. I love the theatrical innovations that were brought into the dance. I don't have a problem with the costume, but I have to acknowledge, understand are respect that even within the cuklture there are people who do.

[@zeezee37]

Mashalah he can move!! i hope he comes to London one day!!! love to see him.

[@septolive]

in my point off view, it's the art off dancing that i see!! i love belly dancing! and to see a man performing on the stage in front off so many people! it's so nice;) and he dances so well!!! thanks for posting

[@julspower]

i cant get enough of this guy and the song is perfect!!

[@nevermindforgetit]

That was very interesting. I'm glad that I approached this video with an open mind. I'm usually skeptical about male belly dancers because I'm used to seeing female belly dancers, but then, I used to feel the same way about ballet.

[@dustbin00]

I'm absolutely blown away. This is...WOW. Fantastic!!! :D Now, I'm addicted to the video. I love how he communicates with the audience.

[@zooka85]

AT first when i saw this, first thing came to mind that this is not a man. But his dancing proved that he is profotional, and i do encourage him as a dancer no more, since the female dancers are showing their bodies more! Thanks to you for show this.

[@L.Ayad16]

He can shake his hips way better than I can, way to go Tito! Mabruk ya wallad!

[@amismar]

oh maaaaaaaaan,,, he is skillful .. what a talent :).. I was always thinking that i dance well.. but after this "TITO" i am zero :D:D good job tito

[@HecateDancing]

WOW I just love this guy he dances from the heart with such joy......Bravo !!!

[@IMBch]

Excellent performamce - I have seen other Tito's video from the Las Vegas Belly Dance Convention... He is a real Master...

[@KelseyMehlKittyKat]

He's amazing...and he's smiling the entire time! :D Makes it even more enjoyable to watch

[@heartlessxocean]

Anyone who says males shouldn't bellydance need to shove it. This guy is amazing, and seems to really enjoy it! Look at that smile. :) Great moves; Egypt should be proud. 5/5.

[@tariksultan]

They do. Its not a woman's dance, its a dance tghat expresses joy and celebration. The stick dancing is inmmitating fighting, different energy. Baladi is about just having fun and being lighthearted.

[@kendrat199]

This is amazing! I love how he can move just as fluidly as a female bellydancer and yet has much more clothing on. It shows how fluid he is in his isolations

[@Fixination]

don't hate the player hate the game ....love you tito you rock !!

[@Lucero2405]

I can't believe that he dances much much better than me. WOW i love it!

[@KelseyMehlKittyKat]

This is so awesome! >_< I wish the tradition of having men belly dance would come back

[@gent491]

thanks Tarik. I still enjoy watching this video same as I did months ago.

[@lisaspotts]

I loved it. he is a beautiful dancer and you can tell how much he loves the dance.
