For this celebratory ritual dance, I have decided to step outside the usual to bring you a piece of Pre-Madonna’s Arab heritage. This choreography is a celebration of womanhood and coming-of-age, it’s a reflection of the bond that unites the women of the land I come from. These ladies come together, in perfect harmony, and under the watchful eye of our judgmental society, to break the “hymen” & “virginity” taboos, and to tell the world that they will not be held back by ancient and sexist traditions.

We are known for hats tall enough to touch the skies, and this one is no different. I am filled with pride and gratitude, and this is for my mother, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and all of the women who came before me.
