Hello All,

I hope you are well. ?I was recently in Cairo, one thing that I found difficult to deal with was the poverty, homeless women, women and children begging in the streets...

Recently I met a Greek belly dancer who wanted us to work on fund raising event for women in Egypt, such a good coincidence that I was thinking of doing something to help.?

Please come and support this event, it is this Friday at St Marks, Myddleton Square, 7:30 pm. All money coming will be donated to Just Because, please see below for further details.

Unaneyia's biography

Performing since 2003 Unaneyia has trained with Farida Fahmy, Mahmoud Reda, Farouk Mostafa, Mohamed and Nesrin Kazafy and Nesma in Cairo where she was based for almost two years trying to capture every little detail of the essence of this art form. Especially fond of the traditional dances of Egypt she is always sure to promote the necessity of their revival through her workshops and classes. She has performed solo or with her troupes ("Unaniin" and "The Mediterranean Hips") for a number of cultural events (the opening of the National Greek Festival, The Pan African Festival etc) and choreographed theatrical and musical performances of well renowned directors in Greece, performed at the Planet Egypt events and the Majma Festival of Glastonbury, in the UK..... In the past years she had the honor of collaborating with the great Natacha Atlas at her appearance in Greece as well as Greek artists like Tania Tsanaklidou, Eustathia, Stamatis Kraounakis and Makis Christodoulopoulos. Unaneyia is currently based in Athens, Greece, working as a teacher, choreographer and artistic director for theatrical shows and big cultural events, teaching classes and workshops, home and abroad but still spends her summers in Egypt trying not to miss on anything that goes on .... Unaneyia is a member of the International Dance Council (CID) performing at their annual Congresses in Greece for the past 3 years.
