Every month she organizes an oriental dance course around different themes such as : baladi, raqs-sharki, sagattes, veils, solo percussion, canes, saidi and a student show takes place at the end of June in a Parisian theatre.
For 4 years she has been studying rhythm with Hassan Abdel Khalek, percussionist of the greatest Egyptian oriental dancers like Fifi Abdou.
In 2004 she created the Amana' Studio dance center in Montparnasse Denfert-Rochereau.
A large room of 160 m2 regularly hosts the greatest oriental dance choreographers including Momo Kadous , Diana Tarkhan from Cairo, Jillina, Rachel Brice, Ansuya, Amar Gamal and Sharon Kihara from the American Bellydance Superstars troupe, Martine Werotte from Montreal and Suhaila Salimpour of San Francisco for workshops followed by shows.
Her love of dance in general and classical dance in particular led her in 2004 to get closer to dance teachers whose background and human qualities made her aware and finally persuaded her to open the center to classical dance classes, floor barre, modern-jazz and contemporary.
Today this center has become a dance school for amateurs and future professionals whose reputation grows every year; two children registered at Amana Studio having integrated since its creation the prestigious school of the Paris Opera.
