Denise and Ahmed were both principal dancers with the Firqa
Kawmiyya (National Folkloric Troupe of Egypt) from 1960
to 1974. They trained the second generation of Kawmeya
dancers and won awards and acclaim in Egypt for their performances
and choreographies. Many of the instructors who today are
considered masters of Egyptian dance began as students
of Denise and Ahmed.
As soon as they immigrated to Canada, Denise and Ahmed
immediately began passing on their knowledge and experience
of dance and choreography by teaching classes and seminars
across the country. After many years of teaching in various
locations, they opened their own studio, Dance Oasis,
in 2003; the Oasis Studio is a culmination of a lifetime
of dedication to Egyptian dance.
In addition to regular classes with internationally
renowned master instructor Denise
Enan , and private coaching sessions
with award-winning choreographer Ahmed
Enan , the Dance
Oasis features the Ottawa-Gatineau region's very
best instructors of Oriental
dance.
