About the Middle East, i 'd like to add sth. , in Egypt under the Mamluk rule (the 13th century), at the time there was an "almeh" who was an Egyptian woman who was skilled in poetry, singing, and dancing. They were present at festivals and entertainments, and even hired as mourners at funerals. And they had a huge part in the Egyptian Belly dance. There is a book called tarab in the era of mamaluk Sultans. And we know some of their names (almehs), like "Haifa" she was mentioned in this book and another one called "Khoba Al Awada". By the way your video was amazing ❤
Thank you for sharing the info. I would love to read more about it. Do you know English translations or sources about it ? I would love to promote this kind of knowledge more ❤️

There a book called الطرب في عصر المماليك (Tarab in the Mamluk Era by “Muhammad Qandil Al-Baqli”) Unfortunately it didn't translate into English yet.
Combining history of dance and history as taught about royalty, wars, empires adds the element of humanity of over time. Thank you.
I highly recommend it, lots of information explained in a simple way, and from the global point of view, waiting for the next part.
