Every dancer in North Carolina ought to take his workshop. In fact, anybody within traveling distance should go. I've taken his workshops for the last two years and I plan on taking them again when he next comes to my area.

I heartily concur!
Where have you taken his workshops? What were your favourite topics?

what hours are the workshops? and what type of stuff will he be working on??

The workshops will be 10-3. Sunday might be an hour later.
He is going to be doing Egyptian Oriental and folkloric styles that are used in Oriental entrances, so a nice mix that is relevant to belly dancers.

Thanks!

I wish I could come, but I'm already committed that weekend! Bummer!

Mohamed Shahin is a really really good teacher. He breaks down choreography very well. I have taken an oriental workshop from him, a Melaya Leff workshop, and a Raks Assaya workshop from him. All were challenging and fun.

thanks, for the review, Amira.
Asim, sorry you can't make it!
We've already got registrations rolling in. I'm trying to keep it small so that it can be held in an actual dance studio, so it will probably be full fairly soon.

Yeah he is good! I just took from him at Ahlan wa Sahlan for the first time and was rather impressed with his choreography and teaching style. Hala is also hosting him in California at the end of August.
I do highly recommend taking from him.

I'm so excited! I'll be sending in my registration for both days tomorrow since I couldn't come to class tonight.

oh man! I would actually make the journey down (I love NC) but I'm booked for 2 events that weekend!

The workshop is already almost 1/2 sold out!!!
Register soon!

I've taken his beledi, shaabi and cane classes. He really breaks everything down well while moving the class along so you don't feel like you are holding it up or others are holding it up. You "get" it really fast. And he always has routines that are so much fun.

Hey, Hannan.....What is Muwahahat?

This is what the original info says: has something changed?

Saturday, October 10
10am-3pm ~ Elegance and Flow. Learn graceful arm patterns, flowing footwork, and captivating combinations with a distinctly Oriental flavor. We'll enhance our elegance through the Andalusian style, which comes up frequently in modern Oriental music compositions.


Sunday, October 11
10am-3pm ~ Saidi!!! So spicy, sassy, and peppy, Saidi is an irresistible style seen frequently in bellydance shows. Learn the newest moves both with and without the Cane (assaya).

Hi! The Andalusian style is the same as Muwashahat. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHaPomMViTc]YouTube - Shoubeki Loubeki is Instructional DVD of Arab-Andalusian, Muwashahat dance[/ame]
