Eid opened Amera's Palace in 1987, which included one of the first bellydance schools in Sydney. The school operated in Sheiks Tent nightclub on weeknights. In the days before the internet the boutique acted as the hub of information on bellydancing in Australia through The Palace newsletter, which ultimately became a biannual magazine. The magazine merged with Bellydance Oasis magazine in late 2006. In 1990, Eid met Lebanese agent Toros Siranossian, and became one of only a handful of non-Arabic dancers on his books. For the next seven years, Eid lived in Beirut and performed throughout the Middle East on continuous contracts arranged by Siranossian. Between 1994 and 1999 Eid also traveled regularly to Egypt, where she trained with top choreographers , Ibrahim Akef and , and also performed two contracts in 1999. Eid returned to Australia and retired as a professional dancer but continued to teach and run international workshops. In 2008 she hosted THE FARHA TOUR to Australia, the first time an international calibre belly dance event occurred in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2010 she hosted the famous Dina Talaat for workshops and a concert. In 2013 she sold Amera's Palace to dancer and musician Ali Higson. It is the only dedicated belly dance store in Australia with a physical shopfront as well as a website (all others are online only). Eid now concentrates on teaching belly dancing privately, and workshops nationally, and continues her passion of working in foster care for children. (en) |
