Aisha is descended from Asia Minor, Turkey. She grew up in a family where the
oriental stigma was rather intense. Her first music experience was from Anatolia and
later on, Arabia. The latter was a major contributing factor to the establishment of her
dancing identity. She started gymnastics at the age of 10, since her father was an
athlete himself. Later, at the age of 14 she turned to a new field: dancing. She did
ballet, modern and flamenco dance, gaining in that way all the necessary experience
she needed to develop her exquisite style in Oriental Dance. She began as
self-taught, with a heart full of love and passion for this enchanting art. The genes
she inherited from her family were a determining element for her passionate
temperament and her effortless grace.
Afterwards she traveled to
Egypt where she was
apprenticed to famous
Egyptian dancers and
dancing teachers like Raqia
Hassan and Aida Nour. She
also worked with Mohamed
Sadek (former lead
drummer of Fifi Abdo)
growing thus richer in
knowledge as far as her
dancing style is concerned.
Aisha is performing a solo drum at the Nile Group Festival 2008 in Egypt.
