Dina Talaat Sayed Muhammad (Arabic: دينا طلعت سيد محمد, IPA: [ˈdiːnæ ˈtˤɑlʕɑt ˈsæjjed mæˈħæmmæd]; born March 27, 1964)[1] is an Egyptian belly dancer and actress.
[7] She earned a master's degree in philosophy from Ain Shams University at the insistence of her father.
[6][8] After El Bagoury's death from a brain tumour in 2001,[6] she secretly married Hossam Abol Fotouh.
In the 1990s she became known for her gigs at hotels like the Cairo Sheraton where she shocked Egyptian society by eschewing the traditional bellydance costume for shorts and a bikini.
Because of the 2011 Egyptian revolution it did not sell well in Egypt, but the French-language edition Ma liberté de danser (2011) was more successful.
