Who is Amera Eid?

Amera Eid is an Australian bellydancer and created an Iconic Australian bellydance boutique and school, Amera’s Palace belly dance boutique in 1987 in the suburb of Newtown, Sydney,Australia, that later moved to Marrickville in 2010. Amera is of Egyptian and European background. Her parents were born in Port Said & shoubra, Egypt, emigrating to Australia in the early 1960s. Exposed to oriental music and dance at a young age, her authentic Egyptian style and musical ear are clearly in her blood. She began her professional training with Rozeta Ahalyea in Sydney in 1983 and worked the Sydney restaurant and Arabic nightclub circuit. She appeared as a support act in concerts for numerous visiting Arabic singers such as Mona Merashli, George Wassouf, Rageb Alame, Rabih El Kholi, Amr Diab, Ehab Toufik, Melham Baraket, Tony Mohanna, Mayez Al Bayah, Pascal Mashalany, and Nawal El Zoughby.Template:Jerusalem Hotel Amman Jordan 1991

Eid opened Amera’s Palace bellydance boutique in 1987, which included one of the first bellydance schools in Sydney. In the days before the internet the boutique also acted as the hub of information on bellydancing in Australia through The Palace newsletter, which ultimately became a bi annual magazine. The magazine merged with Bellydance Oasis Magazine in late 2006 due to Amera’s growing commitments to looking after three foster children.
