The Article
Led by JuliaGood News. Dancers from the Dalaa Channel Organize a March to Oust MorsiWritten by Ahmed ShaalanJulia, the dancer from Dalaa [television] channel, which specializes in dance, popped a big surprise by her announcement that she intends, along with some of her dancer colleagues, to organize a march wearing belly dance costumes in front of the Presidential Palace in Masr El Gedida east of Cairo. They will demand the repeal of the legitimacy of the President [Morsi]. She refused to announce the details or the time, or, if there was the possibility that she'd accept the participation of other dancers or not. She only said that she is preparing for the demonstration. |

In her remarks to Al-Rai Newspaper, the dancer criticized Islamic groups including President Mohamed Morsi because of the attacks on night clubs and on dancers. She pointed out that the closing of most of the Pyramid Street cabarets will not destroy the profession because there are more than 10 satellite television channels that specialize in broadcasting raqs sharqi, and no law or authority can close them down. ABOUT THE PHOTOS: Both photos appeared with the original article on the El Dostor web site. |
