Spiritual & Psychological Insights on PNN

Ms. Noura

Ms. Noura is inspiration

she is a bird in flight

the song of the soul

the spirit breathing life into the body

who longs to return to the source

She speaks the language of the heart

Believes in dreams

trusts in stars

and always confides in the moon

Ms. Noura praises God

dancing on roof tops

in the company of fragrant midnight blooming

jasmine blossoms nestled with playful hummingbirds

Ms. Noura is a dove cooing in the warmth

of lover's breast

Her world

a mirror of faith

in the fulfillment of unforgotten dreams

Tito Workshop

I'm not a big fan of dance workshops, mostly because they usually focus on choreographies, something I've always found difficult to memorize. However, I enjoyed the Tito workshop mostly because I got to see his interpretation of the dance. This was my second time taking a workshop with an Egyptian instructor, the first was with Mahmoud Reda, and I found that their movements feel much more organic than those of many western instructors. It feels a bit more like dancing than pulling out an arsenal of tricks. Because Egyptian teachers are well trained in folkloric dances (such as Shaabi and Saiidi) their footwork is much more logical, even if it's challenging at times. However, Tito's dancing was mighty fast and I had a hard time keeping up, which only served to remind me of how much more I have to learn and that I need to improve my technique, strength, and stamina. Watching his performance was delightful and reminded me that incorporating personal expression and character into one's dance is just as important as good technique.
