I just have to share this with you all.
October 19th, I went to this mini concert of an Egyptian ud player. Furthermore, my teachers performed and one of them gave a short work shops for the guest who liked to participate. Also, information was given about what Oriental dance is etc.
There was a photographer present, and I heard he was making pictures for the university newspaper. So, I was very exited the past few weeks and could hardly wait to read the article about this great evening.
This is what the article said, the literal translation:
"Seduction
The women who participated in the bellydance workshop of October 19 were told that the purpose of bellydancing is to seduce men. However, they couldn't try if they already mastered this art, as all male visitors left already during the break.
Before the break, Haytham Safia gave a concert. He played the U'd, an Arabic instrument which looks like a long, pear shaped guitar. He played traditional and modern music together with percusionist Osama Mollagi, for an audience of about 25 people.
Organiser of the event: "We knew in advance not many people would come, but the fortunately, the people who came were there especially because of Haytham, and they apreciated the music.""
What the ******???
rotest:
No-one told us bellydance is meant to seduce men! Really, I was there and no-one said that and I know my teacher would never say such thing. And during the workshop, I was dancing next to a guy!!!!
Of all the beautiful pictures they could have made, they placed one of my teacher showing only her back and bottom in a hipscarf.
I really don't believe this! This evening was designed so that the audience could listen to Egyptian music and learn a bit about Oriental dance! Why has this stupid journalist have to spoil everything and write stuff that never happened????
I'm planning to write them a letter and ask for rectification. My teacher agreed with me on this.
I could continue this rant forever, but I have to go to class now.
