Pay maybe poor for foreign dancers etc. but dancing in Cairo and putting up with all the Bull*** does have its pay offs as well as fulfilling a dream.
It is great to add to the CV and ensures lucrative workshop deals around the world.
I dont know about this bit about what Raqia Hassan was suppossed to have said about not being a real belly dancer till you have worked in Cairo.
The pecking order is greater than this, you are not a 'real' dancer till you have got off the Nile Pharoah I have heard many say... you cant win can you?

Dear Caroline,
And my personal saying has always been, "Just because one has dipped one's toe in the Nile, this does not mean they come back a good dancer". I know of of dancers who have worked in Egypt that are not good dancers at all, and going there did not seem to help. It was more like they knew exactly who to have sex with rather to how to dance!!

A'isha
