Mohamed El Hosseny’s repertoire includes both different Egyptian folkloric styles and traditional as well as modern Oriental dance. He masters all commonly known Egyptian folk dances, from Saidi to Alexandrian, Nubian to Fellahi, and naturally Simsimiyya, which is in his blood as he has danced it since his childhood in his hometown Suez. He joined the famous Egyptian Reda Troupe in 1992. During his career as a dancer, he performed all solo parts also with Mahmoud Reda's private dance company, among them the male solo in the Rubabikiya operette in 1999. Besides Egyptian folk dances, Hosseny studied also ballet and performed with the ballerina Diana Calenti for several years. Also featuring in many TV-shows, he got to be known to the Egyptian audience as the #1 male dancer of Egypt!

No student is left alone with the steps and combinations, Hosseny explains patiently and friendly, speaking clear English, making sure that everybody gets to enjoy dancing. In his classes the students not only learn a choreography, but get a solid basis of technique as well as many useful advises for developing their own dance. Ballet training of many years has given him power, body control and dancing technique on which he builds his charismatic stage expression, and also his systematic way of teaching classes. A strong eager in developing himself as a teacher as well as a choreographer can be seen in his oriental, baladi and fusion dances, where his own special style consists of always suitable combinations of emotionality, lightness and drama. Hosseny is the director of El Hosseny Dance Company, founded in 2005.
