Teaching more than just dancing...

Ok my patient is done, so I just say the truth:
Honey you was half naked and all your butt was beeking out of the turkish skirt with the slits !!!

Talk about telling it like it is... LMAO

Seriously, you give her 30 minutes of your time explaining the reasons for your opinions that she asked for in the first place, and she calls you that? Not that difficult to spot the bitch IMHO...

She's the one who's jealous... maybe she realised after the explanation that when she will be Maria's age, the Arabs won't go crazy about her anymore but they will still like Maria's dance

AH -- this makes TOTAL sense to me now.

In 5 weeks, I can't imagine how much actual cultural/musical/historical knowledge I could pass on to students -- or how much would even sink in.

today my teach had us watch a dvd/documentary on hahbi ru (probably not spelled right). the instructor above her was answering student questions. it was performances mostly but it was exposure to costume ideas and different dancing choreo's.

i liked it. i dont know how the rest of the class felt. though they seemed a bit impatient and shifty.

Maria,

I have wanted to write you since I returned from Greece last October. I was there vacationing with friends.

Thanks for posting the video of yourself. What beautiful and heartfelt dancing.

I'm sorry for not reintroducing myself. I realized I had to reregister yesterday when I had to sign up again. I've been reading some of the postings and have found more on this message board than the others I used to read. And these boards are so friendly.
