Prop Princess: Cane

Saidi Cane Belly Dance Workshop with Cindy

There’s more to dancing with a cane than twirling it around and hoping for the best.

In this immersive Saidi-inspired belly dance workshop, you’ll explore the cultural roots, music, movement, and technique behind this distinctive style—then put it all together in a short choreography.

You’ll learn:

• The history and cultural context of Saidi folklore

• How to identify the characteristic Saidi rhythm

• Foundational assaya handling, grip, spins, and framing

• Grounded Saidi footwork, hops, and accents

• Cane patterns and movement combinations

• A short choreography bringing everything together
