Dear Mark,
In fact, the first article I ever write about Gulf dance was called "Are We Confused Yet?" I use this article and another, and sometimes another one that is not on the site when I teach Gulf or Saudi dance. It can be found in my website library at Raqs Azar. The unpublished article deals with Raqs Najdi Hadith, which is a female couples version of the dance that Leila and I introduced into the U.S. It is basically an interview with Leila about the social and cultural customs of the dance as it is done in central Saudi Arabia. It makes better sense in context of a class and that is why it is not published.
Love,
A'isha
I orginally learned this dance from Saudis and so I've learned to call it Rags Khaleeji although it's has different names in other Gulf countries. Confusing no?:think:
