Belly Dancing Scarf Biography
She’s tall and slender, dark and beautiful, and has almond eyes to die for. She is the epitome of Arabian beauty, but she is not from the Middle East. Leila is an American, and probably more of an American than most of us. Part of her lineage is Native American, and she grew up on a reservation in central Washington State. Yet after four years in Egypt, Leila has now become one of Cairo’s brightest dance stars. Night after night she shines in some of the city’s most exclusive nightclubs, restaurants and weddings. She is in fact a recognizable personality throughout the Middle East. Her work on Arabic television brings her into homes all over the region. From high profile video clips with superstar singers to live televised stage shows, her dancing can be seen everywhere. Her latest clip, with singer Ali Hagar, won three prizes in the Cinema Magazine Film Festival at Sharm el Sheik. She is also on clips with Samira Saieed, Hishem Abaz, Moustafa Amr, Hakim, Khalid Seleem, and Ahmed Fahti, to name a few.
Leila is well-known in Egypt for her acting and modeling as well. Occasionally, her face beams down from the giant billboards that tower over Cairo's crowded streets. On television she trades lines with top Arabic actors in sit-coms and commercials. And her most recent role for the cinema, in the blockbuster film “Abu Araby Wasal,” won her rave reviews.
She is also a music producer. Her first Oriental Dance CD “Helwa,” has sold well throughout Europe and North America, and will soon have a companion. When Leila comes to the US in March of 2007 she will bring the new addition with her. She has also produced a performance DVD of her show “Bint al Belad”
Yet I bet many of you have never heard of Leila. If you attended the Raqia Hassan workshop in Houston in 2004, the Little Egypt workshop with Aida Noor and Magdy el-Leisy in Los Angeles in 2006 or if you were at the Ahlan wa Sahlan festivals, you might have seen her. Otherwise you could have read one of her insightful articles on Gilded Serpent. Her gentle but firm way of telling it like it is ‘over there’ has won her many fans on the site.
