Y'Halla Y'All

[shimarella]

I promise not to eff up my registration this year. Anyway, who else is going to Grapevine this summer?

[perizaad]

I'll be there! (of course, I'm a member of Isis' company...)
I can't afford to take all of the workshops, so I'm really debating on Friday vs. Saturday. I luuuurv Sahra Saeeda's style, but I bet Jillina gives a kick-butt class... Last year I took SuSu's Rhythm for dancers on Sunday, and it was very helpful!

[shimarella]

Ha, I thought I recognised you! My friends are coming up for the Thursday class. I'll be riding with them, but nottaking the class. I hear what you're saying. It depends on what you like. Sahra did a fun folkloric class last time. Jillina's will be very Egyptian-pop, I bet. I think I'll skip out on a session or two to save my energy... Karavan has another insanely ambitious troupe number planned, and I'm plotting a high-energy Bollywood fusion number myself.

I will be there also.

[ahava]

I'm gonna try to make it

We should wear Bhuz pins or something!

jillina is highly recommended by me. one of the best instructors i've ever taken from!!! her workshops are very well thought-out, organized, and she often sells the music that goes with it. i have only taken her choreography workshops, she starts with a good warm-up, goes over technique, then puts it all together. even if you don't like choreography, there is a LOT to take from her workshops.

I would imagine that Jillina would give such a thorough class, I want to take at least one of hers... Maybe I'll ask Isis if she knows what the other teachers are planning to do. If I get the scoop, I'll let y'all know!

Can't wait to see Karavan again this year, Shimi! And let me know when your solo will be

[shimarella]

Jillina's classes are fun and fast-moving! I don't think I ever catch the entire thing but theres always useful phrases to learn.

Perizaad, I just sent in my registration, yay! The last two times I danced I was on a Friday, so I'm guessing that if I make the cut that's where I'll be. The Karavan number is going to be off the hook! Think debke...

[perizaad]

Suh-weet! I'm not sure what we're doing for our group choreography yet...

Anyone else out there coming? We should wear pins!
