Nagwa was born in Alexandria to an Egyptian father and a Palestinian mother who originally hails from Jaffa.

She began belly dancing in the 1960s. In 1976, the composer Mohammed Abdel Wahab wrote an entire musical piece exclusively for her belly dancing show titled Qamar Arba'tashar (meaning the full Moon of the 14th), it was her transition from traditional oriental dance to a choreographed stage performances.

After Fouad's marriage to Ahmed Fouad Hassan, the violin player, composer and conductor, she danced in the stage show Adwoua Al-Madina (City Lights), which had featured such performers as Abdel Halim Hafez, Fayza Ahmed, Shadia and Sabah. Fouad featured on many of the covers of the Ahmed Fouad Hassan's albums.

Fouad says: "Hassan nurtured my amateur's talents... He taught me the importance of studying and working on my talent if I wanted to be a big star."

She trained at the Nelly Mazloum Dance School and joined the National Dance Troupe to study folklore with Russian teachers. Nagoua Fouad learned showmanship and eye-catching techniques that she used in her performances of "Ayoub Al-Masri" and "Bahiya wa Yassin".

In 1976, composer Mohamed Abdel-Wahab wrote "Qamar Arbaa-tashar" (Blue Moon or 14th moon) for her. Her stage performance to this piece allowed her to change the way belly-dancing was presented on stage, transforming it from traditional oriental dance to more of a choreographed lavish spectacle, adding more dramatic elements to it than ever before.

The composition served as a transition for Fouad: "I was able to combine the oriental dancing of Tahiya Karioka and Samia Gamal with Na'ema's acrobatic style and created a stage show like a dramatic piece" she says. Fouad established her own dance group, but it did not last long; she later tried to retire from dancing to become actress. She played on the stage and in the cinema and finally became a cinema producer.

Aida Nour, beloved dancer and master teacher, has enjoyed an amazing and successful dance career with a strong and loyal following of admirers and students. She now generously shares the gifts of her singular dance craft. Originally from Alexandria, Egypt, Ms. Nour began her career in dance as a company member and soloist with The Alexandria Troupe.

Yasser's singing talent has been discovered when he was child: he won the first prize at musician's competition between  Aleppo (Syria), his native land, singing schools.
Later, when he was 11 years old he won a singing competition among  schools of Syria.
Yasser entered a music school when he was an eighth grade school boy to study vocal and musical instruments (all rhythms, oud and org). At the same time he also entered another famous school in Aleppo “Nady shabab el oruba lel tarab”, the school where all the traditional Arabic music arts were taught, together with  the most complicated classical styles such as Mowashahat, Andalussia, Kudoud Halabeia.
   Yasser never stopped performing, together with George Wassouf, Nagwa Karam, Asy Khilyany, Nour Mhanna he had participated in many performances.

Yasser participated in International singing competition in Cairo and took second prize, although already the spectators and journalists congratulated him with a victory at the end of the competition prior to the announcement of the results (the first prize went to an Egyptian young singer who sang a patriotic song together with children choir).
Yasser performed in Egypt at weddings, parties, concerts. At Gala-shows of festivals, where his wife, famous Egyptian dancer Nour is performing he makes an exception and sings in her part of the program. When people see them together often they compare this couple to the legendary duet of Samia Gamal and Farid El Atrash.

When with Yasser’s efforts “Foreign artists of Egypt Association” (later named “Egyptian Artists’ association”) was founded it started to take a lot of time of his professional life, especially after a law that prohibited foreign dancers’ performances in  Egypt  was enforced. “Foreign artists of Egypt Association” successfully fought this law c and won (See the link: http://nour-orientaldance.com/en/biography/association/activity/)

Yasser with performances is traveling around the world, singing for fans of oriental art of all five continents.

Hassaan Saber - человек-оркестр, танцор и преподаватель невероятной энергии и позитива. 

«Хассаан Сабер – признанный египетский артист»

Автор - Айни Хийям Асфур, журнал «Загарет»

Я бы хотел представить Хассана Сабера – композитора, танцора, режиссера многих художественных танцевальных постановок, в настоящее время, проживающего в Каире (Египет).

Он начал свой творческий путь в раннем возрасте, присоединившись к коллективу народных искусств и культуры (оркестру) «Эль Гиза». В 1972 году Хассан собирает свою первую танцевальную труппу в Каире. Сегодня, по прошествии 30 лет, его постановки совместно с труппой широко известны в масштабах всей страны, а также во всем ближневосточном сообществе как лучшие моноспектакли.

Он отмечает, что с такой известностью и опытом он достиг того уровня, когда артисты приходят к нему обучаться и развивать себя, следуя его примеру, для того, чтобы создавать собственные шоу. После своего первого шоу Хассан принялся активно работать в этой индустрии и зарекомендовал свое шоу как самое реалистичное, современное, утонченное и профессиональное в Египте.

Хассан проводил обучающие курсы как для иностранных исполнителей танца живота, так и для местных египетских артистов. Он преподавал в рамках фестивалей «Ahlan Wa Sahlan» и «Nile Group», на которых его курсы, уроки и методы обучения были восприняты с одобрением и имели успех. Хассан также известен своими работами в телевизионных шоу в качестве хореографа, декоратора и т.д.

В этом году Хассан Сабер опубликовал свою книгу «В глубине нашего наследия» (400 стр.), в которой рассматривается наследие нашего великого народа. В книге освещается 6 регионов Египта с описанием их культуры, традиций, стиля одежды, их танцев, музыкальных стилей и т.д.

Книга дает читателю простое, при этом полноценное представление об уникальности каждого региона и о его влиянии на нашу современную жизнь. Это связь между подлинностью прошлого и модернизацией настоящего.

Мои друзья, исполнители танца живота, обучавшиеся вместе со мной у Хассана в Каире, были поражены его знаниями. Мы всегда с радостью впитываем в себя все, что он преподает. Хассан Сабер является одним из лучших учителей, артистов и танцоров в этой индустрии, которого я обожаю. Он благородный человек, который делится всем, что у него есть.

«Труппа «Хассан Хассан» - лучшее танцевальное шоу в Каире»

автор Кей Тейлор

В этот уикенд я организовала шоу «Bellylicious» в Ньюкасл на Тайне, созданное иисполненное Галит Мерсанд. Поистине волшебный и очень смешной вечер. Для техисполнителей восточного танца, кто успел пресытиться восточными вечеринками в Великобритании, этот уникальный вечер просто необходимо посетить.Я знакома с Галит многие годы. Мы встретились впервые во время учебы на курсах академии JWAAD, затем с интересом следили за карьерой друг друга в мире беллиданса. Мы встречаемся на различных мероприятиях и обмениваемся новостями.На протяжении некоторого времени мне хотелось привезти шоу «Bellylicious» на север страны, и когда появилось свободное время в Театре, специализирующимся в комедии, в конце января мое желание исполнилось. Галит прилетела в пятницу и мы провели замечательный вечер, обмениваясь новостями.

Я рассказал ей о шоу «Хассан Хассан Фольклор» в Каире … комедия, изумительные танцы и хорошая развлекательная программа. Это напомнило мне о моем интервью с Хассаном и вдохновило меня найти время, чтобы все это написать.Впервые я отправилась посмотреть шоу «Хассан Хассан» больше 10 лет назад с Ирэн Вуд. Когда я начала возить группы в Каир, мы включили его в программу. Затем шоу прекратило существование. Никто не знал, что произошло, ходили слухи, из-за разногласий с менеджментом. Не важно, что было на самом деле, но это была большая потеря. Пару лет назад я узнала, что шоу возобновилось и снова проходят представления, я немедленно начала привозить свои группы. В начале 2010 года у меня было 5 групп, одна за другой каждую неделю. Все группы принимали решение посетить шоу «Хассан Хассан», многие характеризовали его, как лучший вечер недели. Я смотрела шоу 5 раз в течение 5 недель и всегда оставалась довольна. Я с интересом наблюдала, как каждый раз шоу незначительно менялось, чтобы подстроиться под аудиторию. Мой супруг Стюарт и мой отец Род присоединились однажды на несколько дней к одной из моих поездок и посетили шоу «Хассан Хассан». Я удостоверилась, что мой отец сидит в таком месте, где он будет выбран в качестве добровольца. Он беспрекословно подчинился всему, к большой радости аудитории, так как выглядел совершенно ошеломленным и постоянно просил Хассана повторить, что тот говорил. Мой отец никогда и допустить не мог, что его слух не такой тонкий как был раньше. Я остановила миссис Хассан после шоу и сказала, что среди публики был мой отец. Она убежала, схватила мистера Хассана и привела его познакомиться с отцом (семья в Египте имеет большое значение). Затем я представила им моего мужа Стюарта. Я и предположить не могла, что они принесут подарок моему отцу – накидку. Очевидно они смутились неожиданным прибавлением мужа, в конце концов отдали накидку Стюарту. Это было очень мило, они очень славные люди. Я тогда решила, что хочу узнать больше о них и их шоу.Когда я снова посетила Каир в прошлом октябре с группой девушек из Дании, мы отправились на шоу «Хассан Хассан». Они были счастливы, так как им удалось совместить празднование дня рождения одной из них.

Комбинация эксцентрической комедии, великолепных танцев и взаимодействие с аудиторией определяют победный результат шоу. Танцовщица вы или нет, не так важно, шоу великолепно для всех. Когда представление закончилось, я отправила девушек обратно в отель, а сама направилась в гримерку к мистеру Хассану для интервью. Посреди хаоса из сброшенной одежды, наполовину готовых костюмов, иголок с нитками, я достала ручку и блокнот для записей.

Очевидно все они шили костюмы в этой комнате. Во всем этом чувствовалось что-то непринужденное и семейное. Я могла наблюдать всю труппу, они сидели вокруг, шили и обсуждали шоу, что прошло хорошо, а что нет, как улучшить тот или иной аспект. Гору вещей сняли со стула, чтобы предоставить мне место, а я сдвинула некоторые вещи на столе, чтобы освободить небольшое пространство для моего блокнота. Миссис Хассан и несколько девушек вошли в комнату, улыбнулись, забрали необходимые вещи и ушли. Один из танцовщиков, хорошо владеющий английским, присоединился к нам, и мы начали интервью.

Хассан Хассан – сердцебиение всего шоу. Он вдохновение, движущая сила и «отец» для всех участников. Хассан танцевал фольклор уже в начальной школе. Его выбрали танцевать в детских шоу на телевидении, так что с ранних лет он был окружен шоу-бизнесом. В 17 лет он уехал в Испанию, где изучал фламенко с Кармэн Рохасс, затем - джаз-балет с Антонио Серанцо, который владел большой школой в Испании. Далее о отправился во Францию и танцевал джаз-балет в труппе заведения «Клуб 36» на Елисейских полях. Оттуда он уехал в Тегеран, где завершил обучение и получил диплом по направлению джаз-балет, а также выступал для Шаха Ирана.В 1971 году он вернулся в Египет и работал в театре «Baloon Theatre», но не сфольклорными танцами, а в комедийных мюзиклах. Хассан развил свое комедийное мастерство именно в этот период. Однажды он путешествовал в Александрию с театральным шоу. Сцена оказалась меньше, чем обычно, и он упал со сцены, оцарапав лицо и сломав нос. Ему было всего 19 лет. Его отец попытался получить компенсацию у труппы, но так ничего и не добился. Этот случай подтолкнул Хассана к созданию собственной труппы, чтобы самостоятельно зарабатывать на жизнь. Разозлившись на то, как с ним поступили, Хассан усвоил для себя урок – он никогда не будет обращаться со своими танцовщиками подобным образом. Хассан поставил свое собственное шоу – микс фольклора и комедии с использованием музыкального стиля Реды. Его группа получила работу в клубе «ManielPalace Mediterranian», в котором они ставили шоу в течение 3-х лет. За это время они отточили свое мастерство, усовершенствовали шоу и отправились с ним в Александрию на 2 года, там оно прошло с большим успехом. Вернувшись в Каир они работали в различных 5-ти звездочных отелях, в основном в районе Пирамид, а также в ресторане «Деревня Фелфела». Хассан говорит, что они считают этот ресторан своим вторым домом, так как работали там очень часто.

В 80-х Хассан заключил контракт с клубом «Falafel», расположенном в отеле «Рамзес Хилтон» в Каире. Именно там я впервые увидела его шоу. Это уютный ресторан с небольшой сценой, окруженной столиками с 3-х сторон. Труппа проработала здесь более 10лет, закрепив за собой очень хорошую репутацию. Это место стало их домом. Труппа давала регулярные представления каждый вечер, а также дополнительные шоу для министров и по особым событиям. Позже менеджмент отеля сменился и Хассан не нашел общий язык с новым руководством. Их контракт завершился, и труппа осталась без постоянных выступлений. Хассан подписал контракт на 6 месяцев и увез труппу в Шарм-эль-Шейх, затем они подписали краткосрочный контракт с отелем «Шератон Ройал» в районе пирамид. У труппы была отличная репутация, но не так легко найти работу для постановки полноценного шоу и оплачивать труд 10 участников. Хассан чувствовал себя ответственным за труппу и за поиски работы.Казалось, его молитвы были услышаны, когда Министерство культуры связалось с ним по поводу контракта в Бахрейне. Все казалось идеальным, и оплата была высокая. Хассан собрал всю труппу и они сразу же приступили к работе. Прошло немного времени, и Хассан пожалел о своем переезде. Было очевидно, что посетители ожидали от артистов немного больше, чем просто танцы. Хассан был крайне возмущен. Его труппа – артисты, а не живой товар. Он чувствовал свою ответственность за каждого члена труппы, а также перед их семьями, он ни за что бы не согласился и не поддержал такое предложение.

Давление достигло такого масштаба, что оставаться было опасно. Сначала он отправил свою жену и дочь домой в Египет. Он остался, так как не мог нарушить условий контракта, Это был очень сложный период. Единственный выход из сложившейся ситуации состоял в том, чтобы выкупить контракт. Миссис Хассан продала все, чем они владели в Каире, чтобы выручить наличные и выкупить контракт. Хассан вернулся домой, но они остались ни с чем. Многие люди были бы так разочарованы, что бросили бы все на этом этапе. Но только не Хассан. Большинство участников труппы нашли другую работу, поэтому мистеру Хассану пришлось воссоздавать труппу и обучать ее с чистого листа.

Труппа “ХассанХассан” - это не просто танец. Это юмор, эксцентричность и индивидуальность, ну и конечно, танцы. Труппа приступила к работе. Ресторан “Деревня Фелфела” был первым, кто снова стал принимать их шоу. Затем они стали получать приглашения на фестивали и вечеринки. Туристические компании договаривались с ними о представлениях для путешествующих групп. Поступали заказы на работу и все становилось по-прежнему. Однажды Хассан столкнулся с Махмудом Моттаром, одним из менеджеров отеля Рамзес, он думал, что Хассан уже умер. Возможно он не знал причины, по которой Хассану пришлось уйти из Рамзеса. Он хотел, чтобы Хассан и его труппа вернулись в ресторан “Falafel”. Этопроизошло 23 марта 2006 года. Контракт был подписан и Хассан со своей труппой вернулись в ресторан “Falafel” в отеле Рамзес Хилтон. При этом Хассан условился, что его труппа продолжит выступления в ресторане “Деревня Фелфела”, так как именно они первыми приняли его обратно. К счастью расписание выступлений не совпадали с рестораном “Falafel”. График работы был очень плотный, 7 дней в неделю без выходных, а также дополнительные выступления по особым случаям, если они не совпадали с выступлениями в ресторане “Falafel”.

Я была в восторге от самого шоу и спросила о различных стилях, которые в него входят. Хассан объяснил, что, например, когда они играют отрывок из жизни бедуинов, он не считает нужным привязывать выступление исключительно к одному стилю бедуинов. Есть много стилей, пришедших с Синая или провинции Матрух. Он смешивает эти стили и создает танец, который дает почуствовать аудитории стиль бедуинов. Он не чувствует себя привязанным к определенному стилю. Он артист и создает полноценное шоу с элементами различных танцевальных стилей. В этом есть влияние Махмуда Реды, а также влияние его раннего танцевального опыта, который придает его постановкам дополнительный размах и наполняет жизнью и энергией. Хассан является хореографом всех элементов шоу. Он также подбирает или сочиняет музыку для шоу. В этом и заключается настоящее шоу “Хассан -Хассан”!Идеи для различных скетчей взяты из реальных жизненных ситуаций. Он использует пародии на людей или ситуации, которым был свидетелем во время семейных встреч, или из историй, являющихся частью народного достояния и узнаваемых по всему миру. Комедийные элементы шоу, конечно, имеют первоначальный сценарий. Но он достаточно свободный и в нем очень много импровизации во время шоу. Каждый участник вовлечен в процесс. Особенно мне полюбился озорной огонек в глазах всех танцовщиков. Они связаны между собой и публикой. Каждый вечер шоу немного перестраивается, это зависит от публики, пришедшей на представление. Хассан объясняет, что определенные элементы шоу остаются неизменными, остальные являются гибкими и могут быть изменены в любой момент. Это держит всю труппу в форме.

У них долгий рабочий день. Они встречаются днем для репетиции в ресторане “Falafel”, готовят костюмы, вносят изменения в сценарий, тренируют новичков. Они не заканчивают раньше полуночи. Иногда им приходится ставить дополнительное шоу во время вечеринки.
