Sahra Saeeda / Sahra C. Kent

Sahra Saeeda combines professional dance experience in Egypt with academic research in dance ethnology. She lived in Cairo from 1989 to 1995 and completed more than a thousand professional performances in Egyptian venues. She later earned a master's degree in Dance Ethnology from UCLA. Her Journey Through Egypt programme integrates movement training with regional, historical and cultural research. Sahra's unusual combination of professional Cairo experience and academic methodology makes her one of the most valuable educators for dancers seeking to understand Egyptian dance beyond stage technique alone.
