Yasmina's
Dancers B&B
Now Open!
Thinking
of coming to Cairo to further your education in the dance, but unsure
about coming on your own? Yasmina's 'dancers' B&B' offers comfortable
accommodation at her large roof-top apartment close to the Giza Pyramids,
at a very reasonable price.
What will you get?
Breakfast, plus one or two (your choice) home-cooked meals each day.
Advice and help in coordinating dance classes, buying costumes and seeing
performances. This includes an experienced personal escort, if you wish,
to all dance-related places, plus regular sightseeing too. There is a
dance studio in the apartment so you can practice what you learn in your
classes with different teachers. And Yasmina also offers private classes
at a discounted rate, for those interested in a short course.
The idea is to provide a safe, friendly and stimulating 'Cairo experience',
in a city that can be daunting to those coming for the first (or second
or third!) time. It could also suit up to three friends traveling here
together.
'Staying at Yasmina's guaranteed laughs (including being killed in various
ways by her son, the pirate, Azz!) great food, and access to the best
teachers and dancers in Cairo - plus I literally had a dance studio outside
my bedroom door. Waking up to views of the pyramids, and having Yasmina's
knowledge and hands-on assistance in providing classes and 'must-see'
performances were definite highlights of my stay. I was able to experience
everything I wanted to doing my visit, including a fabulous photoshoot
with tons of beautiful photos'.

As a Belly Dancer I cannot think of a better way of learning or improving
your dance skills than to be immersed in the excitement of Egyptian culture
- it’s a great way of developing a real understanding of the dance
and its music ... And this is what I did when I went to Cairo to take
some Belly Dance classes.
I’m so glad I made contact with Yasmina who gave me the great opportunity
to put my dance into context and to learn in a safe environment.
Yasmina is an excellent and very experienced teacher, very thorough, knowledgeable
and friendly. She encouraged me to develop my own style and was full of
great tips on improving technique and taught me some great moves.
She also gave me invaluable help and advice in finding costume-makers,
accessories and the best Belly Dance shows in Cairo. With her I learned
in a few days what I have not in months! It was an invaluable and enriching
experience for my career as a dancer”.

If you are after the full-on group holiday experience, Yasmina recommends
Farida Adventures with Kay Taylor, for those coming from Europe and the
US, or 'Amera's Palace Bellydance Egypt!', with Amera Eid, for those coming
from Australasia. Both these women are highly experienced providers of
fun, entertainment, education and shopping! And both partly employ the
services of 'Team Yasmina' to provide extra support in Cairo.
