Average customer review:
Noura says: This book is for the serious enthusiast. It's not an easy read, but for anyone wanting to delve deeper into the culture behind the dance in Egypt it is a must. It's very well researched and sources are all referenced so it's a good place to start your own research.
Anyone wanting to teach Egyptian dance should read this as it gives genuine insight into the roots of the dance and the Egyptian's strange love-hate relationship with female performers.
This book is on the recommended reading list for the JWAAD teacher training, and rightly so. It is a must for anyone with an interest in furthering their study of Egyptian dance.

Essential to understanding all aspects of Egypt
This is a fabulous and unique book which should be read by all scholars of the Middle East. Because entertainment has been so central to the identity of Egyptians this is an essential read. The author provides fascinating insights on the construction of gender in Egypt, the public/private realm, the complex web of morals and the role of dance and music in political development. This is worth twice it weight.
