I need to find a trip that's a week thats tailored to what my group and i want to do. mostly see touristy stuff, see famous dancers perform, take some private lessons, visit costumers, and see luxor and aswan for a day or two. does kay do something like that or is it more of a big group and having to do extra stuff they all want to do?

Well, you can see deeleybopper's details about the trip above. That follows along fairly well with the itinerary that Kay sent me for April . . . a mix of touristy stuff (pyramids trips is optional so if you have been before you can plan something else for the day), shopping in Khan al Khallili, visiting costumers, see some dancers perform (one is a Nile cruise, one the "seedy" nightclub, with options to do more), with some free time to do other things if you want . . . if is a fast and furious week from what I can tell. Kay can setup more private lessons if you want to do more studying than touristing.
You handle your own flight arrangements and what is covered by the package costs are detailed in the itinerary. And they are always small groups! You stay 6 nights at a small 3 star hotel in downtown Cairo (I've stayed there before and it is not too bad and you can walk lots of places from the hotel). I think the one that I signed up for is 12 ppl??? It is one of the customized trips that she is doing for groups this year and not the regular offering (I think the group chose their itinerary based on what Kay normally does) . . . but she said to ask about going with one of those groups and I did.
She doesn't include Luxor/Aswan, but I am sure that if you wanted to go . . . she can point you to the right ppl in getting that added on at the end or beginning but you'd probably be on your own if you don't bring your own travel companion. For the April trip, I am thinking of going to Alexandria for a couple of days after the group leaves.
You can always contact Kay and discuss options . . . maybe you can get your own customized group trip setup.
