is it going to be the same choreography which Suhaila performed on BDSS DVD?..

I'm not sure Maria, I haven't seen that video.

Nebtidi Mnain El Hikaya is on her solo dvd, but don't know if she actually danced all the choreography or was improv-ing. In any case, Nebtidi is a classic Arabic piece by Mohamed Abdel Wahab (sung by Abdel Halim Hafez). Lyrics are here: Abdel Halim Hafez Song Lyrics - Nebtedy Menein El Hekaya (Where to start telling the story)

PS: Sabriye's a great teacher, get her before she heads back to Dubai!
