See you there girls!

Thank you all of you who made this festival happen. We had a just wonderful time!

Mr Reda, that man is an inspiration, he kept the whole workshops himself, 3 hours, at age 80!!!!

Everybody was so nice, the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming.

And the Saturday show celebrating Mr Redas work was unbelievable. I died and went to heaven, or at least it felt like it!

I would especially like to thank Nesma, her solos were breathtaking, and she is a total sweetheart!

I came home with tons of isnpiration!
