Planet Egypt - Our Achievements
We have featured over 100 performers. Mostly professionals, but
a number of students have also been able to polish their skills
and develop their talents as well.
We have had dance styles: from the 1970s mould, cabaret style, modern
Cairo style, the Raqs Sharqi Society style, the Jo Wise style, American
Cabaret style, Tribal, Flamenco, and dances have been fused with Latin, Persian, Kathak, and Bollywood. We have even had body popping hip hop belly dance!!! Dances have been
with sticks, veils,candles, shamadans, swords, and even snakes!
As well as Egyptian dance, we have also presented Saudi Arabian,
Moroccan, Turkish, Gypsy and Persian. Most of our artists are female
but we also present male dancers as well. We have had singers (Egyptian and Turkish), bands (Egyptian and Turkish),
Egyptian drummers, and musicians include oud, guitar, violin bouzouki virtouso and flamenco
guitar.
Overseas Artists include those from America, Canada, Finland, Belgium, Greece, Sweden,
Spain, Germany, Holland, Cyprus, Turkey and Egypt.
We have created an Open Platform
for fledgling dancers who can already dance, but who are seeking
to improve and hone their performance skills. This Platform is separate
to, and precedes our Main Event which features professionals.
It is hoped that Teachers will use this opportunity to give students
the chance to present class choreographies (solo/duets/groups) in
a supportive and dedicated space with an enthusiastic audience.
The duration of the Open Platform is normally 15-25 minutes.
Our main event features professionals in the World of Oriental Dance
(we also feature experts in other Disciplines). We try and arrange
a balanced programme of up to 45 minutes maximum in the Main Event.
In between the programmes and afterwards there is plenty of time
to dance to our favourite Dj's music. All professionals are encouraged
to bring their publicity and information with them. Artists that
we feature are placed in our Gallery
and there are email and web links to help you connect with them
