Shifra took the ethnic/traditional styles as they were danced in the middle east on small floor areas with flat feet and combined them with other styles: Egyptian; Turkish; modern Egyptian; other western styles that fit to each dancer and her/his ability and figure to the way she/he like to dance on stage and in other places. Shifra named it Balata™ Tile.
