[QUOTE=Moon;8905]Most West Europian languages are evolved from sanskrit if I remember right?
In Dutch language there's even a word similar to Hindi: naam (=name) oooops sorry for going off topic. QUOTE] Hey Moon how is your Hindi going? Sanskrit has connections, somewhat, with most languages we know ,Sakskrit is a very sophisticated and philosophical Language, I am not sure how the language developed in Ancient India, But we believe its belongs to Indo-European Group of language,

Aisha!
I'm sure we will meet one day and I look forward to it!! I would have loved to participate in your workshop with David of Scandinavia. I checked out his webiste and video clips a while ago and he looks like a fabulous dancer and he also sounds very charming. He mentioned my teachers Suzanne Pétren Abou Shebika (dance) and her husband Mohamed Abou Shebika (I am taking a beginner tabla drum class with him at the moment) on his list of instructors/friends/inspiration, so I am sure he must know them. Suzanne and Mohamed run a dance center and store i Stockholm, as well as organize the Stockholm Bellydance Festival and Nile Group festivals. www.kairobazar.com Suzanne and Mohamed are both truly lovely and inspirational! Perhaps you should both find your way to Stockholm for the festival?! Big hug, Freya ---- Dipali, First of all, thank you for starting this thread. These kinds of questions and the responses they engender is what makes this forum such an interesting place to be. I've learned a lot from the discussions here and I often enjoy the question itself as much as the answers. Also, I love the fact that everybody here is as obsessed about the dance as I am  Finally there is a fine assortment of "nuts" that I can play with! Ooops... i just realized... that was not supposed to be a double entendre. I was thinking of "nut cases" i.e. "dance crazy nuts." Not the kind of "nuts" that Shanazel was referring to in her discussion about M&M's... or Tarik's "great balls of fire"... Aaahh... I really got myself into trouble in this lengthy digression With regards to my comment about mud slinging: I always enjoy a good argument and the exchange of strong opinions, however, I think that it's important to stay focused on the issue or question. I may strongly disagree with someone but that does not mean that have to dislike them. When someone resorts to personal attacks (what I referred to as mud slinging) in a heated discussion I loose respect for them as well as their arguments. I like a "good enemy" (fierce yes, but never viscious) when debating--they make you think harder. Freya |

Egypt, etc.
Dear Freya,
Then I will probably be a huge disappointment to you because today I said a lot of stuff better left unsaid on another part of the forum. But.... it's out of my system now and I will go back to trying to be as civil as is humanly possible. Re DaVid: We are so looking forward to working with him! I have known him through email for some years but we have never met in person. Another dancer from Sweden that I was able to take some classes from is Kay Artle. She was at the time very much an Egyptian dancer. I hear now she is doing the Hilal Method. She was fabulous!! You and I are both taking drum lessons!! I study with a gentleman named Michael Moonbear who is a master drummer and does African and Middle Eastern. He has a company called Malidoma. Thanks for the link and some day I would adore to come to Sweden. (I should also go by Norway because I have ancestors or maybe even living relatives there.) Regards, A'isha |

Dear Aisha,
I was just catching up on the posts in the "Sauna"... Yeah... that was quite the explosion! Well, good riddance!! Kay Artle? Hmm... I have not heard about her, I wonder if she is still teaching. I will have to google her, and while i'm at it I will check out your drum teacher as well. I've just taken three drum classes so I am a complete novice. Mohamed was Aida Noor's orchestra leader until she retired in 1993 ( I believe it was 93). Last class, when one of my fellow newbie drummers asked how all the drummers managed to keep the rythm he replied with a big grin "Actually, we were always trying to trip each other up, it was great fun!" Re Scandinavia: While I live in Sweden at the moment I am actually from Norway. Several of my ancestors/relatives emigrated to the US, and in fact my great grandmother went overseas. Thankfully the family returned or I would not have been around. Did you know that thre are more decendants of Norwegians in the US than Norwegians in Norway?! We still have relatives over there and who knows, perhaps we are related ? We do have a lot of fierce women in the family... Regards, Freya |

Actually I started it during a particular period of the holiday when the weather was extremely bad and I was bored... But I still love the script
