A native of Cairo and a trained mechanical engineer, Mohamed discovered his passion for Egyptian dance at the age of fourteen. His training began with the famous El Kawmia Troupe where he earned his degree in Egyptian Folkore. Mohamed has been dancing with the most renowned Egyptian folkloric choreographers of Egypt such as Mahmoud Reda, Hassan Afifi, Kamal Naim, Hamada Hossam El-Din, and Gedawy Ramadan.

Mohamed's mission as a performer and instructor is to introduce the male folkloric dances of the Middle East into the West, which are still relatively unknown compared to "Belly Dance," their female counterpart. However, he also performs and teaches Egyptian style or Oriental dance (Raks Sharki) and Folklore dance Mahmoud Reda style: Saidi, Falahi, Melaya Laff, Nubian, Andalusian, Haggala, and Baladi.

Mohamed hopes to unite people with his love for the dance. "For me dance is one of the few activities around which people can come together and forget their differences. It is a way for people to experience their common humanity," he says.
