Nuriyya
Nuriyya, that is to say, is one of the most Egyptian under the European Middle Eastern / Oriental Dance Artists. She is known worldwide as representative of the pure Egyptian Dance Style, with a great appreciation of her profound knowledge and experience in the Egyptian Culture, Art and Spirit. 20 years of extensive studies and travels, included several years of performance in Egypt, have earned her a deep understanding of many forms of this ancient art of dance, combined with her thorough knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology and physiology they make her today an exceptionally master teacher.

The didactic approach of Nuriyya bases on the pure Egyptian style (traditional, classic and modern) while keeping always an eye on the natural and healthy feminine movements, which give a harmonious, graceful and merry impression to the dance and in the same time concentrating on the female and archaic power of the dancer.

Nuriyya is the official teacher at the Nilegroup Oriental Dance Festival in Cairo and as well Teacher and Trainings Manager at ISOC, Prof Dr Hassan Khalil's International Saray for Oriental Culture in Cairo.
