Baladi

Baladi is a style of music and dance that comes from Egypt. It's kinda like a big party where everyone gets to dance! The music that you hear during a baladi is usually played on instruments like the Arabic drum, the flute, and the oud. These are all really cool-sounding instruments that make different sounds when you hit them or blow into them.

When people dance to baladi music, they usually move their hips and their arms a lot. They might also do other fancy dance moves like spins or jumps. It's kinda like a mix between belly dancing and regular dancing.

People have been doing baladi for a really long time, like hundreds of years! It's a really important part of Egyptian culture and lots of people still love doing it today.
