If you're talking about dancing of a sort that can be seen on "A Journey" then I too am sad that we're not seeing this.

Are there any of his students still teaching who are promoting this vision? I see photos of Elena Lentini doing different things with veil, but I've never seen a recent performance of her so I don't know exactly what I'm looking at.

Maybe it's time to bring back "Bobby Farrah style." ?? I've been to workshops with master teachers who speak very fondly of him as both an artist and a person. I wish I could have known him. Suhaila said her mom simply adored him, and was crushed when he passed away.
