Islam Elarabi

Islam Elarabi is an Egyptian dancer, choreographer and dance teacher. For several years, he has worked at the intersection of Mahraganat dance—a powerful form that emerged from the Egyptian streets—and contemporary dance, using it to tell stories that resonate with the energy and depth of the cultures from which they arise.

A graduate of the full-time professional programme at the Cairo Contemporary Dance Centre, headed by Karima Mansour, he regularly collaborates with Toto (Mohamed Mahmud Mohamed Ibrahim) to develop Mahraganat dance into a teachable form, leading workshops and classes in Egypt, France, and across Europe.


He is currently collaborating with multidisciplinary artist Nataliya Nikolska on a project exploring the concept of “home” and themes of identity and belonging.
