YASMINA of CAIRO

Yasmina, 'The English Rose of Cairo', has studied, performed and lived the world of oriental dance for more than 25 years. Discovering the form in Morocco in 1983, she began training in London with various teachers, and performed in many of the capital's Arab nightclubs during the late 1980's. Then she began accepting contracts abroad, including India, and an eighteen-month tour of Italy. In 1989 Yasmina began performing regularly in the Middle East, leaving London to dance full-time. Starting with a six-month stay in Morocco, a fitting return to the place where her original passion had been kindled, she danced in many Middle Eastern countries including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai and Abu Dhabi), Syria and Jordan, before arriving solo in Egypt in the summer of 1995.

Redirecting her style to modern Egyptian with the help of Raqia Hassan and Ibrahim Akef, she quickly secured a contract at the Meridien Heliopolis, where she performed nightly for 3 years. Yasmina has remained in Cairo ever since, appearing with her orchestra at major Cairo venues such as Safir, Pyramisa and the Semiramis Intercontinental hotels, the Nile Maxime, Tivoli Heliopolis, as well as hundreds of weddings and parties in Cairo and around Egypt.

For the past ten years Yasmina has travelled to teach at sold-out workshops and festivals world-wide, and continues to perform and to study the dance, firmly believing that "it is an ongoing journey of discovery from which you never stop learning." She is a founder member of the Farha Tour, a traveling Egyptian show which has so far toured the UK twice. This is her US/NYC debut!

In 2002 she gave birth to her son, Azzedine, and has widened her cultural understanding of Egypt by coming full-circle and incorporating her original training into her life; she works as a photo-journalist in Cairo and writes regularly for several Egyptian and foreign publications. Her deep knowledge and immersion into the local oriental dance culture enriches her teaching. Add to that her ability to break down and explain the movements in English.

Yasmina says: "The day I was swept away by the sounds of Egyptian music and took my first steps down the road of oriental dance, I could never have imagined where that road would lead. To me, this dance has brought much joy, fulfillment, and depth of self-expression, as I believe it has and will do for countless others."No matter how small or great a part it plays in your life, it is always life-enhancing and ultimately good for the soul."

YASMINA of CAIRO

Yasmina, 'The English Rose of Cairo', has studied, performed and lived the world of oriental dance for more than 25 years. Discovering the form in Morocco in 1983, she began training in London with various teachers, and performed in many of the capital's Arab nightclubs during the late 1980's. Then she began accepting contracts abroad, including India, and an eighteen-month tour of Italy. In 1989 Yasmina began performing regularly in the Middle East, leaving London to dance full-time. Starting with a six-month stay in Morocco, a fitting return to the place where her original passion had been kindled, she danced in many Middle Eastern countries including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai and Abu Dhabi), Syria and Jordan, before arriving solo in Egypt in the summer of 1995.

Redirecting her style to modern Egyptian with the help of Raqia Hassan and Ibrahim Akef, she quickly secured a contract at the Meridien Heliopolis, where she performed nightly for 3 years. Yasmina has remained in Cairo ever since, appearing with her orchestra at major Cairo venues such as Safir, Pyramisa and the Semiramis Intercontinental hotels, the Nile Maxime, Tivoli Heliopolis, as well as hundreds of weddings and parties in Cairo and around Egypt.

For the past ten years Yasmina has travelled to teach at sold-out workshops and festivals world-wide, and continues to perform and to study the dance, firmly believing that "it is an ongoing journey of discovery from which you never stop learning." She is a founder member of the Farha Tour, a traveling Egyptian show which has so far toured the UK twice. This is her US/NYC debut!

In 2002 she gave birth to her son, Azzedine, and has widened her cultural understanding of Egypt by coming full-circle and incorporating her original training into her life; she works as a photo-journalist in Cairo and writes regularly for several Egyptian and foreign publications. Her deep knowledge and immersion into the local oriental dance culture enriches her teaching. Add to that her ability to break down and explain the movements in English.

Yasmina says: "The day I was swept away by the sounds of Egyptian music and took my first steps down the road of oriental dance, I could never have imagined where that road would lead. To me, this dance has brought much joy, fulfillment, and depth of self-expression, as I believe it has and will do for countless others."No matter how small or great a part it plays in your life, it is always life-enhancing and ultimately good for the soul."

Buddy Walk - October 18

vic brown,

On Sunday, October 18, I will be walking in the 8th Annual Inland Valley Buddy Walk� to show my support for the more than 350,000 individuals with Down syndrome in the United States. I have signed up to be a team captain and want to do my part to make sure that each individual is given every opportunity to reach his or her full potential.

Every step I take, every dollar I raise, will help ensure that each individual with Down syndrome in the United States will be able to do just that. Last year alone, over $6.5 million dollars was raised nationwide for local and national education, research and advocacy programs.

I am asking you to Buddy Walk� with me to make a difference for people with Down syndrome in our community and help Up For Down, the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles and the National Down Syndrome Society create change nationwide.

Click on the Web site link below to visit my personal Buddy Walk� page and join my team today!

See you at the 8th Annual Inland Valley Buddy Walk�!
