September 07, 2018 Ep 34. Brenda Diaz: Building Dance Career in Cairo Without a Manager
Want to know if it's possible to be a successful belly dancer in Egypt but without a manager? Find out how Brenda Diaz combines a busy artistic life with being her own boss and managing a whole team of people around her dance activities. This is quite a different way of navigating Cairo business from what we've heard previously on the podcast!
Also, Brenda shares her experience of being a participant of Al Rakesa (The Belly Dancer) TV show, and how simply following Dina's posts on social media changed her life completely.
This is one more of those hardcore episodes that highlights both sides of "glamorous" belly dance career. Be ready to be shocked, but I promise you a happy ending. :)
