Keti sharif biography of abraham

The Gilded Serpent presents...

My passion for dancing began when I was 17, when I took my first Oriental dance class. The music and shape of Arabic dance fascinated me. It was never a 'planned' career, but I guess I got swept up in the fun; the festive aspect of dance for the sheer joy of it, the celebration, the sense of discovery and eventually became a dancer, teacher and performer. Dance became the pacemaker in my life - I literally moved to wherever it took me. I've lived in Turkey, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and now Egypt. I eventually gravitated to the place that felt like home; Egypt. I lived there for ten years, hosting tours, archiving Farida Fahmy's work and running the Sphinx Festival.

In Egypt, my career moved towards dance event co-ordination and concept development. Spending many years researching dance, I integrated my studies into a BA in Fine Art History, focusing on geometry, music-space relationships and Islamic pattern and architecture. Au
