She is also a prominent wedding dancer and high profile entertainer in her field. Leila also produces many CD’s for dancers with her husband Safaa Farid who is a popular singer and musician in Cairo. She has a dance camp called Camp Negum which she holds twice a year in different locations in Egypt.

Leila loves to teach workshops that include more than just dance technique. This is why she started Camp Negum and why she was part of our 4/4 Workshops a couple of years ago.

Panel 7 pm - Discussion on Egyptian dance and globalization - Beginning
with dance in Egypt
under the old regime and how the censorship of the arts in general
lead to the decline in Raks Sharqi (people blame Egyptians for that,
but the government had a lot to do with it). What hopes there are
for the future of the dance in a more open society. Is it more open?
Have foreigners carried the dance torch during these oppressive years
or have they manipulated the dance to be more Western? Can Egyptians
reclaim the dance on their own terms? How is Egyptian
dance surving now? What are the changes in Egypt and worldwide. Q
& A
Cairo Show with the Pasha Band starring Leila Farid
