Secret? Which secret? According to her own story she felt by the ebginning or middle of 1980 the will to give herself a break from dancing. She prefered to go to the States to teach oriental dance and to prepare for an PHD in this very same field. She did. She said that along her life she always felt that every phase must have had a different flavour. She enjoyed living in the States for few years (maybe around 6 or 7 years) when she came back her husband passed away, she was too old to continue dancing and above all the situation and level of Reda group was not as it used to be. She tried after her return to deal with some logistic or artistic matters related to the group but she failed. She lived since in her house in Misr Algedidia.
She has never been an ordinary person. Her half british roots, very liberal father (according to the 1950s standards) etc made her not your common type of an artist who would die to remain in the spotlight. When she found she had no place she simply quit.
Then you do not know. There is a rumor that the sudden resignation of Farida and her husband from the Reda band was due to a severe conflict with the Minister of Culture at that time buteverything was professionally hidden from the public. Why a Star of her time like Farida leave the chair and go to USA.
