Oriental Dance (Raqs Sharqi) originated as a private dance in the Kingdom of Egypt and was only later used to entertain the aristocracy.

The essence of the dance was a fertility ritual, and the dancer served as a channel for divine energy.

Personally, I loved this form of dance from a very young age.

When I started practicing the Egyptian art of Oriental Dance (Raqs Sharqi), I felt deep within me that this performing art was calling me, it had revealed itself to my soul.

I was fully aware of its beauty and grace, and so I began my search for its roots and origins.

My journey took me to Ancient Egypt 3000 years ago…
