As a child Mahdy Emara was fascinated by music and the dancing in the Egyptian films. At the age of six, he knew that he would either become an actor, a musician or a dancer. This is when he started to take music lessons… 
Just music was not enough…. One could do so much more with music. This made him join a dance class with his most inspiring dance teacher Mr. Abdul Razak Al Awi who changed Mahdy’s life forever…. 
Since this first class…. Mahdy has never stopped dancing!!!

After a few years of immense hard work, a professional dance carrier started as being member of the Benha Dance Group.
The following years Mahdy started to study the historical and artistic aspects of dancing. 
1980 was the year where he really received recognition for his talents and was asked to perform for several television broadcasted programs and theaters.

6th of October 1982 (National day of Egypt) was not only an important day for the Egyptian people, but in particularly for Mahdy and his dance group. This was the day when they had their most memorable performance for the Egyptian population and President Hosni Mubarak at the Cairo Stadium. 

After his education and research specializing in Egyptian classical and folkloric dance (at the University of Cairo), Mahdy was elected by a National Dance Jury to teach and educate dancers on the traditional art of Middle Eastern dance. 
His most talented students became a part of his very own dance group where he could educate his students on several techniques and structure of each dance style. 

Due to his ever growing ambition and strive for perfection, Mahdy decided to specialize himself as a Choreographer. While continuing teaching and performing, Mahdy joined the Reda Dance Group (the most renowned in Egypt!!) and received his further education in professional Choreography.

Through his fascination for dance and music, Mahdy entertains and educates people of all cultures about the essential aspects of dance, traditions and artistry of the Middle Eastern cultures. 

In his professional carrier, he and his dance group have performed extensively throughout Egypt and Europe, and is currently teaching the art of Oriental dance in Holland.
