Hi there all !!!!!!!
So happy.
Just came back from the 2nd National Greek Oriental Dance Contest where my student Jimmy with my Tahteb choreo with double assaya won the 2nd place for traditional arabian male dance.
I'm just soooooooooooooooo happy we really enjoyed the 3 months working together (broke some lights at the dance studio with the canes lol) and the result showed.
First came Sami from Egypt doing Saidi, he was great fun !!!

Sooooooooooo happy
I'll upload the video later

Congratulations baby Jimmy is amazing, I saw him dancing at our "Oriental Soul" Show in Athens. Maria, does he have Ballet training? He moves like a Ballet dancer, very graceful:dance:

 

[Maria_Aya]

Yes he is a ballet dancer also (more than 15 years training) thats why we worked ok on the "Reda style" version of Tahteb

Wow. There's a blast from the past. I haven't heard from Maria in years.

Hi, Jimmy. Boogie on over to the meet and greet section and introduce yourself.

Don't worry, Shazanel, Maria is doing fine... She is just more active on Facebook... and teaching and dancing a lot
