Khawalissa
Gender Illusionist
Drag Belly Dancer
In 1834, Egyptian ruler Muhammed Ali outlawed the female Ghawazee dancers from Cairo. Soon young males appeared disguised as women to take their place; and emulate their dance, some of them projecting the dance to be more salacious than that of the women, they were known as Khawals.
Khawalissa, takes from phenomena and combines it with the costume and dance of the modern cabaret belly dancer, to exercise his skills for you and your patrons, based on Egyptian balidi, the basis of modern belly dance, together with other Middle Eastern styles. From the wonder of the veil to the thrill of the sword, Khawalissa can bring excitement to your special occasion or venue.
