About DancEgypt
Elaine
I am co-founder, dance director and operations manager for DancEgypt. I developed a fascination with Ancient Egypt in Grade 5 and when the “new fad” of bellydancing hit the newspapers in the 70’s, I thought this was the closest I would ever get. I started learning from Victoria Bishara shortly after she started offering classes and fell in love – the music, the movements. Over the years I have attended numerous workshops across North America, always focusing on the Egyptian style of Middle Eastern Dance particularly folkloric. Together with Monica, we formalized what we loved into DancEgypt Dance Co. and have been teaching, performing and growing since 1986. We brought dance masters to Saskatoon for workshops and created dance productions to showcase the Egyptian dance. Along with other members of our team I teach and co-choreograph dance productions for DancEgypt’s professional troupe.
