Studies and training
After my military service, when the dream of studying fashion design did not come true, I decided to dedicate myself to belly dancing.
In 2008, I was certified as a belly dance teacher at the Wingate Institute, and from there I continued to develop my love for the field.
I went to Makhir and studied with Raya Hassan, one of the most respected teachers in Egypt at that time, and participated in a belly dance festival in Ukraine,
There I specialized in other styles such as Khaliji and Iraqi dance.
Since then I continue to grow, explore and create, and combine all the inspirations and styles into a unique art that reflects my personal style.
