from the bbc, with global reach, Egyptian belly dance ‘in crisis’
“The dance, from what I see, is at the moment rapidly fading in the background, whereas before, it was right up front,” she says.
“It’s very serious and I’m part of what’s going on. I’m part of the big decline that’s going on in the dance.”
“What you are seeing nowadays is just shaking, which is very Turkish,” she says.
“Egyptian dancing has many more brilliant movements, which is why there must be an academy to teach it, where I could lend my expertise.”
