Abstract

Folk art combines simplicity and beauty.. It spontaneously expresses customs, traditions and beliefs. It is an art that serves all human needs practiced and produced by the group. It is a cumulative experience that has been transmitted from time to time and from one generation to another, preserving its character and uniqueness.. Which expresses in our time. The present is about our Egyptian identity and our unique character in the spirit of the Egyptian popular group. In order to preserve this heritage, which has become a popular proverb, attention must be paid to transferring the movements of folk dances from their natural environment to the theater in its entirety, with the addition of some simple touches so as not to change its content, and this is called a distortion of the Egyptian folk dance.
