Engy al-Shazly has made history in Egypt, becoming the first ballerina to perform wearing a hijab.

Al-Shazly has been criticized by those who think that she's insulting her religion; but that hasn't stopped her. She's only been dancing for three years, but her goal is to perform in famous opera halls around the world. Eventually, al-Shazly hopes to open her own ballet school.
