The Gilded Serpent presents...Second Annual Giza Academy Awards
by Amina Goodyear


The Second Annual Giza Academy Awards of Middle Eastern Dance Videos was presented by The Giza Club on Sunday, December 6, 1998.
The Giza Club is a non-profit cultural organization devoted to the study and understanding of the Middle East. In the bimonthly meetings various subjects regarding the Middle East are discussed and key or expert people in that area present either lectures, slides, videos or lead discussions. The people who have participated read like a Who's Who of Middle Eastern culture: travelers, doctors, teachers, anthropologists, musicologists and, of course, dancers. Events may be formal, featuring lectures on music, dance, literature, food -- even fashion and everyday life and Middle Eastern film festivals, including and especially The Giza Academy Awards of Middle Eastern Dance videos. There are also field trips, potluck parties and The Giza Cabaret, where dancers and musicians are provided performance opportunities.


All the judges were either members of the Giza Club or had spoken or made a presentation for the Club. All of the judges view all of the tapes in their entirety in all of the categories. They keep an open mind. No political or dance preferences are allowed, nor are any prizes given for most money spent; however, the videos do have to be clear and well thought out...click to continue
