What would be the top teachers you would recommend to visit? E.g. you mentioned Yousry Sharif and I never even though of him as I didn't know his name. So I read about him on Nile group page and he does sound very interesting!
Any suggestions Aya are appreciated :))))  Thank you in advance |
Well depends on your style and what are you looking for?
Ok lets start, i'll give the advice I give to greek dancers or my students.
For anyone in love with oriental dance, at least one workshop with Mahmoud Reda and Farida Fahmy is a must, even if you are not interested in their style.
I just adore Khaled Mahmoud but prefer his privites as his class is always packed.
yes not so well known teachers (special arabs) have less people in class and can be excellent.
I just love Dawlat old style, (she is around 75 her son is teaching just being beside her is thrilling), and Nasra from the not so well known.
Now depends on the subject, i would say Ousama Emam, Ahmed Fekry, Aida Nour, Freiz.
I always take Liza Laziza and Zeina
Must must Lubna Emam, 18 years choroegraphing Nagua Fuad explains why, she is hard work.
Nour is excellent teacher, you just got to like her style.
Leyla from USA is getting fantastic after her stoping for the new baby.
Ashmahan if you like her style, more to feel her energy in the class.
If you are Reda - Folklore orienteted, all the Reda style teachers are for you.
Farouk Mustafa, Nisma, Nesrin, Kazafy etc.
If you catch up Zahra take with her, special on baladi or egyptian styles, she si great.
Ok this way you got to take 9 hours everyday lol
Look for me !!! i'll arrive on Thursday
Maria Aya :)
