(1954-
Mona Ibrahim Wafa started dancing professionally at 13. Her dancing meant she had to flee Egypt for Lebanon in 1970 to escape the anger of her conservative Bedouin father. When she returned to Cairo in 1975, she was a star. Her dancing is characterized by an intensity and nuance. However, she has times when she stops dancing for periods. These apparently often match her romantic life. When interviewed by Habibi in 1996 (Vol. 15, No 1) she had married seven times – always to rich men. |
