Samia Gamal was born in Beni Suef in 1924 and entered the world of art in 1940. She worked with Massabna band as a dancer and was also involved in the dance group Altablohat .She was chosen to lead a solo dance in one of the concerts and the dance instructor told her she should be wearing high heel during the dance. Some say that Samia was very scared at the time because if she failed the band could be expelled from the Casino..But Samia did not succumb to failure and pressured her band instructor to grant her the opportunity to dance in front of the public, she was a stunning success.
