I started my career studying with the master teacher Serena of New York City and was inspired by her artistic approach to this dance.  After five years of intensive study, training, and performances with Serena Dance Theatre, I ventured out to open a very successful agency for dancers in New York, perform in NYC top nightclubs, and to direct a dance company that enjoyed performances for cultural and corporate clients.  Other master teachers include Ibrahim Farrah, Josery Shariff, Elena, and Ramzi El Edlibi among others.  Seven years ago, I decided to specialize in Egyptian dance and was fortunate to study with Mahmoud Red, Rakia Hassan, and Nadia Hamdi, both here and in Egypt.

As principal choreographer, I personally researched regional movements, translated songs (with help) and designed costumes that represent traditional and classic dances of Egypt / Arabian and Middle Eastern countries.  We were awarded premiere programs sponsored by The Division Of Tourism For Egypt. Recently I have been the solo guest artist interviewed on The Betsy Gibson Show and The Woman Of The Week television programs and is credited with expanding the public’s awareness of Middle Eastern Dance in this country. 

You will find more than 100 authentic, old world, classical, and traditional choreographies.

World Artists’ Dance Theatre present on the stage replicas of choreographies taught by Mahmoud Reda, Rakia Hassan, and Nadia Hamdi from their workshops of their recent national tours.  These videos represent probably the largest personally designed and authentic costume collection in the United States. We hope you will be inspired to expand your dance career to more performances on the stage. 

My career would not have been possible without the dedication of a fine group of very special artists.  I want to thank them for all the years of devoted work and tireless rehearsals, sometimes for only one or two performances.  Their spirit and generosity of creativity has blessed with me the most pleasure in my dance career.  I’d like to especially mention my assistants’ Paulena and Ghazella for their talents and support.
