A study on the characteristics of ancient Egyptian nobility, a style  created by Nelly Mazloum and belonging to the Nelly Mazloum signature style, for theatre and high class dancing.

Nelly Mazloum has spent years of effort to explore and put into a dramatized dance form, the sensuous aesthetic of refinement that the HAWANEM Style demands from the feminine body.

She succeeded in unfolding her technique to such an extent as to evoke the extreme nobility in the high standard of Oriental Dance Art and its superb grace.

The HAWANEM way of dancing is a focal point in the essence of  the Nelly Mazloum "Oriental Dance Technique".

As Nelly Mazloum said:  "The aristocratic HAWANEM Style dance movements should be soaked in the charm and seductiveness idealized by Oriental poets, to extol the eternal feminine, placing womanhood as a symbol of Perfected Love.

Love is the awakening of imagination, roaming the labyrinth of fancy, where the external ideal is pursued and found only to be lost over and over again.

The HAWANEM Style is the archetypal representation of this concept. Woman has to move in a world of mystery and wonders, scattering promises of heavenly delicacies, becoming flesh and disappearing behind veils, leaving trails of expectation, which fill the atmosphere with a sweet anguish until she reappears to make the dream a reality."

The HAWANEM Style

Is the art of fascination in its purest form.
