Naima Akef and the Naima Akef Dance Troupe

This clip is from the 1958 film Ahebek Ya Hassan (I love you ya Hassan) The singer is Houria Hassan. The dancers are the Naima Akef Dance Troupe, also called Troupe Nefertiti (according to the film credits) The choreography is by Naima Akef. She choreographed all the dance numbers in this film. She does a bit of floorwork towards the end of this clip.
Naima Akef's Dance Troupe ( AKA Troupe Nefertiti) and the Reda Troupe had a similar style though Troupe Nefertiti predates The Reda Troupe by several years. However, Naima Akef and Mahmoud Reda both worked together in the theater show Ya Leil Ya Ein in 1956 which was choreographed by Mahmoud Reda and Nefessa el Ghamrawi...so it's entirely possible that they influenced each other.
