I don't think you have to choose between teaching and taking dance lessons...as long as you don't tell anyone involved with your teaching that you're there to study dance and, as you say, you won't be performing.

There aren't really any lessons or schools in Cairo, you'd be taking privates, so it doesn't matter what level you are. Plus, you can set your budget and attend as many privates as you can afford, and work in between on what you learn.

If I had the opportunity, I'd want to take primarily from Raqia Hassan, I love her choreography and she's a very good teacher. I'd also try to take some lessons from Aida Nour, and I'd check into the major festivals for some classes and shows (Ahlan wa Sahlan, Nile Group, and Safti's weeklongs with Mahmoud Reda.)
