I'm so excited abou this!! I am proud of Lotus. She's stellar. I also think it's ironic that the last 3 covergirls are going to be at the Intensive this year. Princess Farhana, Aradia, and Lotus. Whoo hoo!!

I got the chance to watch them at the last year Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive...they rock! and Lotus so glamorious and awesome!

[calianaamar]

I saw Lotus perform last year in Dallas....such a fabulous performer! Made quite an impact on me! I think she's teaching at Ahlan Cairo Nights in July and I hope I can make it! :-)

Just bumping up this thread to say what a big Lotus Niraja fan I am! I hope you make it up to the Pacific Northwest one day!

I came across this video tonight and love it! I'm also crazy in love with that costume (and all of the costumes I always see Lotus and the NDC wearing, so original and lovely)

Lotus is truly an asset to the community. As a woman, teacher, and performer. I love her. Her performances are more than just perfect technique and skill... she's an artist, she has so much spirit, and fun, originality and POWER. she has stage prescence like nobody else.

I've taken a couple of her workshops too- and as a teacher she's just amazing. It's not all choreo where you get one combo out of it, .. but I can't quite describe *what* her teachign is.... you get SO much out of it. Her knowledge, and communication is excelllent. I'd highly recommend her as a workshop instructor at any large bdance event. I really love how she helps you grow as a dancer, but within your own unique style. Go Lotus!

Thanks Mahsima!
I loooooove that song and it was a joy to perform to. Thank you for the compliments. We get pretty lucky with costumes, since we have in-house designers....my cousin and my mom!

Hi Shiraz,
Wow, what moving words. Thank you. I am honored that I have impacted your dance in such a positive way. That is a teacher's and performer's best dream. I love this dance form in so many ways and I am glad that my joy is shared with you.

The OP is preaching to the choir! We are all Lotus fans here! Thank you again Lotus for the awesome workshop in June. I am still working with the combos and concepts you taught us and absorbing them into my dance months later.
