Suhaila!

Wow, I should really keep up with this blog. So much has happened in the past few months...

Like this past weekend. Suhaila Salimpour was in town to give a 2 day intensive workshop of her bellydance technique. It was so incredible. My butt and thighs are still sore, but my heart is anything but. She is such an amazing dancer, instructor, choreographer, and person. She has so much style!!

The performance on Saturday night was really remarkable, one of the best I've seen. Lots of very talented local dancers, including my lovely friend and teacher, Alexis. She popped out with a back handspring in her fusion piece to MIA's Pull Up. She's teaching our student troupe a choreography to this same song that we'll be performing at Rakkash! And the Crafty Bastards fair in, God, only 2 weeks!!

Suhaila, you are beautiful and inspiring.
