SOUHAIR ZAKI
Sua paixão pela dança surgiu desde criança, embora não tenha tido influencia da família, e muito menos a aprovação de seu pai.Aprendeu a dançar sozinha e começou a se apresentar em casamentos e festas familiares desde criança.
Ela foi a primeira bailarina a dançar músicas de Om Khalthoum, uma das maiores cantoras da história da música árabe.
Também dançou para muitas autoridades como o ministro de defesa da Rússia e o presidente Nixon dos EUA. E participou de alguns filmes.
O estilo de dança de Souhair era natural e simples, o oposto de algumas bailarinas, como a Nagwa Fouad.
Como nos diz Raqia Hassan: "Souhair Zaki resume a dança natural. Seu apelo está em sua simplicidade: ela traduziu a música de forma precisa e natural, sem excessos ou exibicionismo. Seus passos têm resistido aos anos, e são ensinados até hoje. Ela sempre foi autêntica apresentando-se e fingir nunca fez parte do seu estilo. Do mesmo jeito que a vê hoje, ao vivo, calma, tranqüila para conversar e educada, ela sempre foi assim em cena".
