Tanoura (Arabic: التنورة) Is an Egyptian folk dance with obvious Sufi origins,[48] which today became an important ritual of the celebration rituals performed on many occasions.[49] The dance is a rhythmic dance performed collectively by circular movements, which stems from the mystical Islamic sense of philosophical basis.[50] It sees that the movement in the universe starts from a point and ends at the same point and therefore reflects this concept in their dance.[51] Their movements come as if they are drawing halos, drenched in space. The word tanoura or tannoura refers to the colorful skirt worn by the whirler, with a color representing each Sufi order.[52]
