I love this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7jM6Zz-knw

And from Ohio! So close!

[Adishakti]

Wow. She's GOOD!

My favorite kind of dancing....very real....pure & musical.

Aiwa!

BTW - Adi,
In case you don't see my comment on your Zeina clip - I think you're really onto something with approaching that song that way - I'll be interested to see where you take it. It's really nice with tons of potential for continued use by adding things as you get inspired. Just lovely.

and I have to say this again- since 2004! I wondre how long shes been studying.

Thanks, I think! Was it that obvious that I'm not finished with it? Oh my... There's a lot I'm happy with, but some parts just aren't working for me, so I just tossed something in for the meantime. (It needs some changing up so it's not so repetitive, and I hate those turn, look back and shimmy things - they don't suit the way I want to express the song).

But then, nothing I do ever feels complete... I just keep picking and picking at it, yanno?

Pics of the weekend coming soon!

She's got a really natural air about her dancing. Her technique is good, and she just looks so soft and graceful. Definitely impressive! Thank you for sharing this clip with us!

[yasmilah]

Awwwww, you guys!!!!!!

Wow- thank you for the awesome compliments......

(hmmmmm, I don't even know what to say) What a great way to start the day! :-)

VERY impressive! I love how you have the confidence to just simply dance to the music - no bells and whistles needed; just fantasic technique, natural grace and engaging stage presence. Even the costuming is understated and *just* right for the music.

[danidance]

no no...don't take it the wrong way. It's a different Zeina approach and I like it but I meant that you have lots of flexibility with it - you've left room in that approach (I won't call it a choreography in case it wasn't one) for adding in or taking out. It's a great base that you can change up when you feel differently or feel like trying something new.
