I took a class with her in New York years ago and only know her to do Oriental. I am not saying that she can't teach Saidi!!! I'm a fan of Raqia but I'm trying to decide if I should take the Sunday workshop.
Akasha, Raqia's professional performing experience was primarily in folkloric, not oriental. Afterwards she started teaching oriental. Needless to say, Saidi is part of her folkloric based repertoire.
