Leyla Lanty is known for her Sa-idi style cane dance and cymbal playing
as well as her ability to speak Arabic. In her cane dance and Egyptian
raqs sharqi, she brings to her audiences the feeling of an evening in
Cairo. She has made numerous trips to Egypt, studying with Raqia
Hassan and other Egyptian dance masters, spending most of her free
time there with the Egyptian people.

prestigious Ahlan Wa Sahlan international festival in Cairo and is looking
forward to doing it again in June, 2009. She teaches Egyptian folklore
