Thread: raqia watch

OK, so can everyone who knows anything about where Raqia Hassan is going to be in 2008 please post it here. Inquiring obsessive minds want to know. This weekend she is in Lyon (France), and next year she told me she was in Manchester (UK) I don't know any more details about the UK date.

Ditto on the Raqia watch!!! I missed her when she was in D.C. in April doing a workshop! I was planning a wedding and could not go :)

Insha'allah she will be out of the cast in a few days. She's choreographing and directing me around from her chair ("arabesque to the right! turn to the left!"), even with a broken leg she is still the best teacher in Cairo ..l;,

Oh no ! What happened?

I heard she tripped over her pooch!

Oh noooooo! You're right about her being the best teacher in Cairo - even in a cast! She's a trooper, so I expect she'll meet all her booking dates.

W.O.W. I am so impressed. A broken leg won't stop this woman. God bless her.

I know where she will be in October. PMing you.

Candi, can't you give the info here? I'm interested!

You're lucky! She had to cancel her workshop here in Korea because of her leg. Mona was supposed to come instead but had problems getting a visa so the workshop was delayed one week and then the day before the workshop we were told that Mona wouldn't be coming at all and the workshop organiser would teach classes instead!!!!!!! ..cr.:

Just heard from Faten that the dates of Raqia's upcoming workshop have been changed to May 17-18. So if you couldn't make the original weekend, hope to see you at the rescheduled one!

Well, apparently it's slowing her down a bit. She had surgery and because she's not recuperated enough, her workshops April 12-13 in Redwood City, CA, have been canceled. I sincerely hope she'll soon fully recover.
