NESMA discovered Arabic music and dance participating in shows created with her brothers for television. She was captivated and began learning about dance in Madrid and then Paris. She lived in Cairo from 1993 to 1998, where she deepened her knowledge of the culture and traditions of Egypt, while perfecting her artistic technique.
She had enormous success with more than 3,500 shows on the most famous stages of Cairo. She then worked with the Egyptian National Ballet where she met the master choreographer Mahmoud Reda, becoming one of his greatest collaborators.

Her knowledge and her extensive experience as a teacher, dancer and producer of music and shows allied to the inexhaustible energy she devotes to promoting Arabic dance has made her a recognised and much loved and sought after artist all around the world.
