 Mahmoud Reda Mahmoud Reda, pioneer of Egyptian dance theatre, is acclaimed for his folkloric dance choreographies for stage and cinema. His research and field-studies of Egyptian culture inspired dances that retained and preserved traditional elements which may have otherwise been lost. The Library of Alexandria published his biography in 2009 for his 50th Jubilee. |
