Cairo's top dancer.
You love her or hate her. She has her own tight and concise style with
dramatic punctuation. She claims the stage immediately and interacts
with the audience. When possible, I get us a front stage table for the
full impact. If you are in Cairo, you have to see Dina. I do not like
videos I have seen but live, she is a force to be reckoned with! She
has a full orchestra of at least 20 musicians.
The evening includes
a 4 course meal. There is a band on before Dina. The evening
is highly recommended. A very late night - we do not eat till
midnight & Dina rarely dances before 1.30am.
Dance
Classes: Dina has taught classes on the last
4 Rakassa adventures. She is a warm and
generous teacher and breaks down the steps / moves effectively.
The first group met Dina in a dance studio on Zamalek. The second
group was smaller and we had a lesson in her apartment. That in
itself was fascinating - to see where Dina lives. Where possible,
there is the option of a class with Dina. It is not guaranteed but
if she is in town, she is happy to teach my groups. This is an
optional extra.
