Profile and Background of Dina

Dina (دينا) has been considered the last big Egyptian star of Raqs sharqi and indeed she is the last one who has starred in a considerable number of movies and TV programmes from the early 1990s.

I have found most of the details about her life in Dina’s autobiography (Talaat and Guibal, 2011). She started dancing from the age of nine in a folkloric troupe.

However, her father did not agree to her dancing Raqs sharqi.

Dina said in an interview to El Safy (1993b, para. 9): ‘When I started belly dancing it was a big problem. Now my mother and father speak to me after three years’.

Dina comes from a wealthy Egyptian family and she has a degree in philosophy, so her background is different from that of most dancers of the past, who came from a poorer background.

As Dina explains in her autobiography (Talaat and Guibal, 2011, p. 134):

My Facebook account is full of fans’ messages. . . . Once again, I see the same words that appear: “Dina, I heard you yesterday on television. Obviously, you are smart, you have credentials, you come from a decent family. How did you become a dancer, such a waste. . . . You did not have to do that. “No, I was not obliged ” . . . I come from a wealthy family, I studied up to the university . . . I danced because I wanted to. I am an artist. . . . This is our heritage and I am, unfortunately, probably the last guardian.

(Talaat and Guibal, 2011)

Dina’s personal life has been tumultuous and she has often been at the center of celebrity gossip in Egypt and vilified because of her profession.

However, she has always defended her right to dance, in spite of everything, and the title of her autobiography, My Freedom to Dance reflects her feelings.
