Have you seen
this article from The National? Paints a grim picture of belly dance in Egypt...
Here's one of her quotes: “I see no hope or future for belly dancing in Egypt,” she said. “Ten years ago we were so many. Each one had her own style and audience, whether first-class belly dancers, or second and third class. Now I look around and see nobody.”
If the link doesn't work, I also link to it from my belly dance blog at
Scribbling Gypsy.
