When did Melaya Leff get so popular?
The first time I saw a Melaya Leff performance was in the 90's when Amina Goodyear sponsored Nadia Hamdi in a series of workshops in San Francisco.The first time the audience at the show saw Nadia dance with a melaya, many were horrified. They'd never seen such a thing! (Although I must admit that I think they found her gum-chewing the most upsetting.)
Now it seems like lots of people are doing melaya dances. Was it a specific workshop? Performances on YouTube? That the costumes got a lot cuter?
Just curious...
