"New challenges upon my most difficult Cairo return"

Oh, my heart is not in Cairo. This home coming back was the hardest one, so far...

O.k, enough drama and romantic little tragedies!

Here´s what you should follow in Cairo, as far as I´m concerned:)

NEW CHALLENGES:

1. Preparing my brand new and totally CRAZY new show for the great "Nile Maxim" (near Marriott Hotel, Zamalek).

Programing, rehearsals with dancers and musicians and new cloths.

An also brand new microfone for me to ....SING! The terror...I am being pushed to sing more and more and it´s really scaring me (which is a great sign, isn´t it?! Isn´t it?!)

Excited and stressed. That´s who I am and I just arrived to Cairo. Just a while ago...

Oh, God...I need an urgent massage (fancy, fancy, fancy!).

CALL "NILE MAXIM", ZAMALEK for infos or ask me about it through the email:dancemagica@gmail.com

Or call "NILE MAXIM" reservations: 002 - 012 73 88888 / 002-010 73 88888/

002 - 011 73 88888

2. Another show - nothing to do directly with Oriental Dance - that I absolutely have to do. This show was born from a magical encounter with a great man and it was asked to become truth in a dream I had at night. And yes, I am quite insane (just in case you were wondering, by now...).

5. Still working on my books to publish. Please, God! HELP ME. I never thought it would be so hard to give birth to a book.

6. My first collection of dance dresses is almost ready. Wait for some shots of it here in my BLOG. Coming soon...:)

I´m still dizzy from the long treap and my sudden arrival. Promise to keep updating this BLOG with news as much as I can.

Welcome to Cairo! (I´m saying to myself)
