I went in at the deep end. Aida Nour raks sharqi technique masterclass (no where to hide!), I was tense before we started and it didn't make me feel any easier when there were at least 3 teachers in the class.  All I thought was, oh shit, I'm out of my depth but to be fair it wasn't the technique I had (have) problems with, its picking up choreography at speed.
But the music and choreography were lovely. It's something I can work on.
Next I had a good break which was fine as I was coming to JoY carrying a few injuries  but it did mean I could do a little bit of shopping and bought two galabayas.
In the afternoon I took Shafeeks shaabi..... technically I didn't think it was level 1/2, it was high energy a kind of oriental shaabi  all those pivots and work on the balls of my feet strained my achilles more than I would have liked but I refused to wimp out and stuck with it!
More to follow. |
nah there's not hiding place with Aida is there? her eyes are everywhere...she must be one of the best teachers I have ever had. So great to follow but I do wish when she was demonstrating folks wouldn't follow her and obstruct others' view..just wait will ya??
And Khaled he just gets better. I reckon he is not as "soft" as he used to be and this is good because he will raise our standards.
And Artemisia great show and class , my dear...she adjusted the lesson to suit and it was so enjoyable and flowed so well...relaxed and fun.
As to my drumming...well mmmm I try!
Sara Farouk is just full of inspiration and good advice and she and Khaled were so much the Magic Moment. Aida and leyla were of course wonderful but I have to say..I am so NOT yer solo fusion tribal fan but..... Dawn O'Brien blew my socks off...brilliant and hubby's photos are a treat.
I have eaten a hat, my friends will say!
