In this Thursday, April 23, 2015 photo, a member of the Al-Tannoura Egyptian Heritage Dance Troupe, jokes with Mahmoud Ahmed, 11, inside their dressing room, before a performance at the El Sawy cultural center in Cairo, Egypt. The dancers themselves earn between 100 and 250 Egyptian pounds (between $13 and $32) per performance. But many of them describe it as far more than just a job. Ahmed attends school and leaves the group temporarily whenever he has to study for his exams. (AP Photo/Amr Nabil)
