I don't know whether a biography of her is published anywhere, but I can give you a little information. As a child, she studied ballet for many years, which is why her style has such a strong ballet-oriented aesthetic. When she became old enough to take a dance job, she joined one of the folk troupes and danced with them for some time. Someone (I forget who) took her aside and told her that she should forget about doing the folk troupe thing and pursue a career as an Oriental style dancer. So she decided to try it.
I first became aware of her on my second trip to Egypt, in 2003. I saw the performance in the clip, and instantly became a fan!
