Shoo Shoo Amin

Twenty years ago when I told people I had worked with Shoo Shoo Amin in Cairo, the response was  “Wow!” Now, people go “Who?” Today no one seems to know who she is. For belly dance purists, this is a tragedy. Every so often, someone my age or older will wax lyrical about her on-line, but for the most part, she’s an enigma – even to young Egyptians.
