Yes, definitely: Many heartfelt THANKS & GRATITUDE to Maleeha/Kahraman for organizing Master Reda's workshop. Also it was very cool to see Bhuzzers like Shira in person! Oh, and a shout out to my fellow Chicagoans, Erika and Sonya!!!
I will forever be in awe of this great man who has such vast knowledge, talent and ENERGY that belie his chronological years! And his charm?? OMG, this man was absolutely wonderful: In the rare pauses between the choreo. practice (Sat.), he'd just break out into a little tap-dance...and with all the dramatic grace of a medieval minstrel or modern-day theatre actor, he honored us with a masterful storytelling of his show/production's [fairytale romance!] plot.
It truly was one of those once-in-a-lifetime, snatch-it-or-it'll-never-happen-again, truly memorable moments in a student dancer's life *Sigh*
