Egyptian child star Fairouz dance sequence

This is from the 1950 film Yasmin. Egyptian star Fairouz plays the role of an orphaned girl who teams up with a struggling musician (played by Anwar Wagdy) and they perform together. In this clip Fairouz demonstrates how gifted she was in many styles of dance, and does some very impressive performances including tap, ballet, tango, rumba and an outstanding raqs sharqi performance at the end.

Thanks for posting this clip - I thought this was from the movie Dahab and then I read your post - she must have done a couple of movies as the "orphan"!

@mafadalo Dahab is from 1953, a bit later than this film. I guess Yasmin did so well that they paired up Fairuz and Anwar Wagdy yet again for another film with a similar storyline.

She makes Shirley Temple look like she has two left feet. Her dance ability is amazing and diverse!
