Mohamed El Hosseny 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 first male dancer of his country. Mohamed El Hosseny teaches weekly classes in Helsinki and gives workshops in other locations in Finland as well as other countries (see Events). He has taught in many festivals, among them Yalla! Festival of Oriental Dance in Helsinki and Ahlan wa sahlan festival in Cairo. Teaching is for Hosseny a vocation. His students know him as a demanding and minutious, yet encouraging and friendly teacher, who plans his classes carefully and is able to take care of each student. No student is left alone with the steps and combinations, Hosseny explains patiently and friendly, speaking clear English, making sure that everybody get to enjoy dancing. In his classes the students don't only learn a choreography, but get a solid basis of technique as well as many useful advises for developing their own dance. 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. 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.
