Workshop with Leila of Cairo
October 4 & 5, 2008

Leila has been modeling and dancing professionally
since the age of 16. She began her oriental dance
career in Seattle’s Arab, Persian and Egyptian
nightclubs which exposed her to a mixture of
pan-Arab music and dance styles. Leila gained
popularity dancing for weddings, festivals and
nightclubs along the West Coast of the United States
as a soloist and also as a member of a four
member dance troupe with a mission to expose
non-Arabic audiences to the beauty and subtleties
of Middle Eastern dance.

In 2002 Leila moved to Cairo, Egypt.
The 2003 Egyptian Government’s ban on foreign
dancers briefly stopped Leila from performing in
Cairo, but she continued to be based there while
teaching and performing outside Egypt.

As Leila’s dance career developed, so did her
career as a model and actress.

In this workshop, she will be teaching Egyptian style
technique and 2 choreographies on Arabian
classical music pieces.
