Shalaby trained with the Reda troupe and danced and travelled extensively with them.  He went onto train new members and choose people for international tours.  He is particularly good with assaya (stick dance).

Shalaby has taught 2 of my groups.  He has a very solid and earthy quality with a whole range of new moves to add to your assaya repertoire.  The groups loved his friendly and accessible style.

He recently came to the UK and taught at the Jewel of Yorkshire festival in Saltaire, West Yorkshire.  He went down a storm - and people loved his partner in the show, Desiree.  Desiree has decided to stay in the UK and is happy to be invited to events.  We will put pictures up as soon as we have them.
