Cairo! Cairo! A Celebration of Egyptian Dance

28th - 31st July 2006
Singapore


One of the biggest and best Oriental Dance (that's bellydance to you and me) festivals in the world is held every year in Cairo Egypt. The Ahlan Wa Sahlan Festival is an extavaganza of performances and workshops by some of the top names in Oriental Dance.

Some 700 dancers and enthusiasts from 30 countries around the world gather at the Festival ... and now a slice of that event will be coming to Singapore!!!!!! This is THE real thing.

BIG names such as Dr Mo Geddawi, Momo Kadous, Raqia Hassan and Rhanda Kamel will be here to give workshops as well as perform at a concert next Friday (28 July). These folks are like the Steven Spielberg of Egyptian dance -- important, authorities, masters.

Additionally, there will be a competition (experienced dancers only), where the winner gets a chance to perform at the Ahlan Wa Sahlan Festival in Egypt next year.

Don't wait ... get your tickets now!
