Welcome to episode #29 of "The Oriental Café" podcast hosted by Joana Saahirah.
🎤🎧✨In this episode, I tell the truth about becoming a successful professional oriental dancer in Cairo, Egypt, the Mecca of Egyptian Dance - aka "belly dance".
🎤🎧✨Without sugar-coating it, I share:
1. The first steps I needed to take to launch myself in Cairo.
2. The shocks and reality checks I went through.
3. How I got my first dance contract - with my first orchestra - and what it took to keep me at the top of my game, performing daily, for 8 straight years.
4. Why I didn´t want to go into television and cinema.
5. The prices I had to pay for my success.
