Leila's elegant and soulful style has charmed audiences throughout Egypt and beyond. She loves mixing classical oriental style with folklore and modern movement to create a dynamic show. Leila is a versatile performer adapting to each venue. In a single night she can dance at small, exclusive party in a villa, then run to a huge wedding in the grand ballroom of a 5 star hotel, and finish the night performing in one of Cairo's poshest nightclubs. Leila also enjoys working outside of the traditional bellydance venues. She has collaborated with superstar singers such as Sameera Saeed, Hishem Abaz, Moustafa Amr, Elam, Macmoud Abusarry and Bushra, performing in live, televised concerts to thousands of people. Leila is no stranger to the camera and has danced in many music video clips, most notably in clips for Khalid Seleem, Baha Sultan, and oud virtuoso Ahkmed Fadhi. She is also the dancer featured in the 2005 television campaign for tourism in Egypt. She has even danced on the silver screen, performing oriental dance as part of her role in the film "Abu Araby Wasal." Leila performs outside of Egypt, having danced in conjunction with teaching seminars in many cities in the USA, the United Kingdom, and Eastern Europe. Grace, a sense of humor, and a creative approach to traditional belly dance make Leila a performer not to be missed.
