Amir Thaleb
Singing the praises of Amir!
Got to see him perform live down in Orlando, FL, in the end of January at the Babylon Breeze workshop weekend.
Wow! I was moved to tears ..cr.: , his stage presence was so incredible!! I haven't found any clips that do his stage presence justice, but his technical expertise and charisma and energy certainly come through.

I also had the chance to take a variety of workshops with him... hagala, debke, classical egyptian choreographies/combos. He's a great instructor too!
Soooo very fun and inspiring!

Orlando in Jan was a blast and we all needed a defibrillator after his performance! Incredible!! and he's so sweet too!
I would love to see he and Jim Boz on stage together. Can you imagine? :0)

I've taken two workshops with him, and I can honestly say the second one, when I was a more advanced dancer who could better understand what I was learning, has had a major impact on me as a dancer. I'm still processing everything I learned in those two days last August!
I also agree that seeing the video footage is nothing like seeing him live--there's a lot of subtlety that gets lost on camera. Plus, he's just so vibrant and alive!

Oh yeah! That is a good one! But still, there's something he does w/his soul and spirit ... or whatever you want to call it... that drew me in and kept me on edge and riveted. Oi! Originally Posted by eugeniaargentina

I'm excited to see him when he comes to Vegas as well. He's in Buenos Aries, correct? I think I saw his studio last August while I was in Argentina...my group had to tear me away...I was like "No! I want to stay! Bellydancing!"

Next trip!!!!
