Wow. She's GOOD!

My favorite kind of dancing....very real....pure & musical.

Aiwa!

BTW - Adi,
In case you don't see my comment on your Zeina clip - I think you're really onto something with approaching that song that way - I'll be interested to see where you take it. It's really nice with tons of potential for continued use by adding things as you get inspired. Just lovely.

and I have to say this again- since 2004! I wondre how long shes been studying.

Thanks, I think! Was it that obvious that I'm not finished with it? Oh my... There's a lot I'm happy with, but some parts just aren't working for me, so I just tossed something in for the meantime. (It needs some changing up so it's not so repetitive, and I hate those turn, look back and shimmy things - they don't suit the way I want to express the song).

But then, nothing I do ever feels complete... I just keep picking and picking at it, yanno?

Pics of the weekend coming soon!

She's got a really natural air about her dancing. Her technique is good, and she just looks so soft and graceful. Definitely impressive! Thank you for sharing this clip with us!

Awwwww, you guys!!!!!!

Wow- thank you for the awesome compliments......

(hmmmmm, I don't even know what to say) What a great way to start the day! :-)

VERY impressive! I love how you have the confidence to just simply dance to the music - no bells and whistles needed; just fantasic technique, natural grace and engaging stage presence. Even the costuming is understated and *just* right for the music.

no no...don't take it the wrong way. It's a different Zeina approach and I like it but I meant that you have lots of flexibility with it - you've left room in that approach (I won't call it a choreography in case it wasn't one) for adding in or taking out. It's a great base that you can change up when you feel differently or feel like trying something new.
