	Venus - beledi
		In this instance it is referred to as taqsim baladi or baladi awwadi, whose elements, desribed, below occur in a fairly consistent progression.
		It always begins with a taqsim, which is a slow, improvised section of music, usually played on one instrument and with no rhythmical accompaniment.
		This finally winds down and resolves into a final taqsim which may or may not be followed by a drum solo, according to the individual preference of the dancer.

		Taqsim (Takseem): Elizabeth Artemis Mourat has the most straight forward definition for a taqsim that I have seen: "A taqsim is an improvised piece of music or dance that has no rhythm.
		It is the musicians' solo part of a song or it may be the entire song." A taqsim is played without rhythm instruments, and is often a solo played by one musician on one instrument.
		The taqsim is an ideal place in the music to play with personal expression, and to listen to how the music asks you to move.

	THE CHARM OF THE 'UD
		The taqsim is an improvisation which presents various characteristics of the maqams (modes) of Arab music.
		A 'ud taqsim is usually performed before songs or included in a musical suite, and its style is concise.
		Taqsim Ajam (track2) is an improvisation based on maqam Ajam [C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C], of which the tonic is Bb in principle.

	Fan Taqsim Belly Dance
		Fan Taqsim was originally born from my unique way of belly dancing with a Chinese silk fan, fusing Chinese classical dance with middle eastern dance.
		Taqsim is an Arabic word pronounced as “Touk-Sim”.
		most often, when taqsim is played or performed, the music is slow, hypnotic and the dancer may perform a lot of floor work, undulations and snake arms.

	Harel Shachal's Teaching, maqams, rhythms,etc..
		An instrumental solo is called a taqsim. The art of taqsim is the art of improvisation, using maqams.
		In the traditional music, taqsim is played by a solo instrument, by itself, on top of a beat, or on top of a drone. The drone is the tonic of the maqam.
		The only way to practice taqsim playnig on any maqam, is to play it for a long time, listen to yourself, and observe your own sound.

	Recording review: Munir Bashir (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Similar to a raga in Indian music, a taqsim is a melodic improvisation based on a particular mode or maqam.
		So this CD is a collection of eight taqsims, using eight different maqams (which number in the thousands).
		Some of these maqams are sufficiently different from traditional Western scales, often by virtue of flatted seconds and/or sixths, and by the use of quarter-tones which make up a large part of the oud's vocabulary.

		The Arabic maqam is similar to an Indian raga: it is a melody-type set to a particular scale.
		The players improvise, especially in the opening taqsim section (like the alap in a raga), but only within the strict rules of the maqam they are playing.
		Several tracks include vocal taqsims and sung renditions of classical poetry.

	Beladi 'd Baja - tribe.net
		Dancing a taqsim to live music requires a vocabulary of steps large enough that the three minutes or so that the dancer is out there isn't just a series of shimmies and drops.
		I have had the privilege of dancing the taqsim to some of the best drumming I have ever heard.
		I am looking forward to at least two workshops this year to improve my taqsim-February is Princess Farhana's Extreme Taqsim at Dances in the Desert, the other is Angelika in Baja in October.

		Najib will elucidate the aspects of Arabic melodic music that are key for dancers to be aware of, in deepening their onstage response to the music.
		Ranya will guide participants through the transitions into these next two sections of the show, with the principle of focus-how to take apart the music and feel in control of one's performance, typical rhythms encountered, when and how to bring audience members in, and some nuances to be aware of in the music.
		This will be a general introduction to the rich field of the taqsim beledi, with an overview of different types that musicians might play for a dancer.

	An Introduction to Middle Eastern Music Rhythms
		No discussion of Middle Eastern rhythms could be complete without mentioning taqsim.
		However, taqsim isn't really a rhythm, but no rhythm at all!
		Taqsim gives a musician the opportunity to show the audience what he can do; similarly, taqsim also grants the dancer a chance to improvise and express her creativity.

		Nálada hudby se změní náhle ve chvíli, kdy skončí maksoum melodie a začne hrát nějaký sólový nástroj své jasné sólo taqsim.
		Další částí je taqsim-baladi vycházející z taqsim, je to jakýsi rozhovor mezi sólovým nástrojem, který hrál v předcházející části a bicími nástroji.
		A tak může být na začátku použit masmoudi rytmus nebo baladi rytmus, malfouf pak následuje za taqsim částí.

		Farhana teaches interesting, unusual variations on figure eights, camels, and other undulations, and will help you with the building blocks of incredible abdominal work like belly rolls and flutters.
		The video begins and ends with costumed taqsim and chiftelli performances, and an added spontaneous performance with Arabic drummers Youm It Talaata will show you how these movements can be used in a more syncopated fashion

		(First a modal ensemble dance, then a haunting taqsim {modal improvisation) by Yair’s kamana {viola-like} alone, then he accompanies Maureen Nehedar’s singing of a plaint-cum-prayer for peace The music ranges between ’Iraqi’ and ’Persian’ and is performed by Israelis of Iraqi and Persian ancestry.
		The greater part of this is oud alone on an extended, introspective taqsim {modal improvisation.} which modulates between different modes.
		Then, becomes a superb taqsim (modal improvisation) for oud, alone.
