Getting and Keeping Work in Cairo

Aleya says in her blog, "As an American and most belly dancers around the world, we are our own managers, agents, bookkeepers, and we get to our gigs by ourselves or through DJ’s or agents but generally they will not come with you.  In Cairo it doesn’t work like that unless you work at the same place exclusively.  If you have a wedding, more often than not you want someone to come with you to deal with the band, getting paid, and things that come up.   You want your impresario.
