Dervishes of Cairo"Sufi dance troupe"
[The Dervishes Of Cairo] which presents the Sufi dance, which called in the Tannoura (Skirt) dance, is the one of the most successful artistic achievements of EL Nour Company for art Production and Distribution.

On March 2001, Mr. Ahmed Nour, chairman of the company, asked a group of these dancers to present their peculiar art form on the stage.

Most of the dancers and singers of the group have learned this art from their fathers and grandfathers.

The group started with 15 members but now it has more than 40 between dancers, musicians and singers, so now it is considered one of the biggest groups, which perform this kind of dance, all over the world. The group participated and awarded in many national and internationals festivals inside and outside the country. Our show is called from the alley to the stage.

It's a show of Sufi dance, but on the Egyptian way which is different from the Turkish. The Egyptian way, the dancer wears a skirt names "Tannura" Which weights more than 11k, but the Turkish danced only with wid jellabah which weights nothing.

The skirt of the dancer "Tannura" characterized with many colors which represents the Egyptian joy and happiness, not as the Turkish wear which it is only white and black The music Companion the show played with Egyptian folkloric instruments like rababa, nay, doff, sagat and tar. The songs are from the Egyptian religious folklore and seem like prays to God. We present the same folklore which you can see in the alleys and religious fairs of santons "mulids", but now we bring it to the stage, presented by the most professional artists whom learned in that fairs "mulids".
