Cherine is an international performing Oriental Dance Artist specializing in the classical style of dance, Raqs Sharqi, for over 20 years. She is known for her elegance, subtle & delicate style, precise technique & deep understanding of nuances of the dance. She knows the Arabic language and is familiar with Arab culture due to her origins. Cherine has a long-term experience of performing in Cairo with a live band. She was dancing at the prestigious Mena House Hotel for many years, and worked with Raqia Hassan, appearing on many of her instructional DVDs. At that time she was a star of “Ahlan wa Sahlan” festival as well. Thanks to her broad experience of dancing in different settings (big stage, restaurants, weddings, festivals), Cherine is an invaluable source of knowledge both for theater dancers and for performers who want to interact with a live Arabic audience.
