AMARIA RETURNS TO WASHINGTON DC!
          It's hard to believe Amaria has been working in Cairo for eight years now, since 2018. That's a long time for a belly dancer, especially through COVID. She's had time to learn the ins and outs, the ups and downs, and all the trending moves of Egypt's fast-paced club scene. As resident dancer of the Nile Pharoah she gets plenty of practice. 
         Did you know she began belly dancing on a military base in Augusta, GA.? And that her first gig was in Phoenix, AZ.? Then came New York and Washington DC. until she finally followed her heart and moved to Cairo. And in spite of a world pandemic, she's still there, living her dream and learning all the latest  moves she can't wait to share with us. Come! You don't want to miss this fun afternoon of cool moves and local insight :

12:30-2:30 : Trending in Cairo: Shaabi choreography to the latest hit in Cairo's club scene. 

LUNCH BREAK and TEA TIME about Cairo

3:30-5:30 Mejance Combos: Classic combinations suitable for many entrance songs, easily adaptable to your own unique style. 

We can't wait to host her! Early bird special before January. Sign up here:
