Vertical Road Screening and Q&A with Salah El Brogy at Zawya Cinema

This is a throwback post when Salah El Brogy visited Cairo in 2016:

Dancer, performer, choreographer and dance teacher Salah El Brogy was guest speaker at the British Council’s screening of Akram Khan Company’s award-winning ensemble Vertical Road. Salah was the show’s lead dancer and he goes back to his native Egypt to share his experiences and journey during his time with Vertical Road.

Salah also delivered his Extemporaneous Dance Style class over at the Cairo Contemporary Dance Center.
