Sneak peak at "The Secrets of Egyptian Dance"

Sneak peak at the BOOKLET of my brand new
"THE SECRETS of EGYPTIAN DANCE" Workshop
(Lisbon - 2nd March and
London - 1,2nd June).
 



*Life versus Dance and the way both are so deeply inter-dependent and inter-connected.
Let life shape you and your dance for Life itself is the wisest and...
most inspired of all Sculptors. The way you dance - at different times - is deeply affected (even if you are not aware of it) by the events happening inside and around in your life. The wounds, joys, dreams and frustrations you gather on a daily basis will be reflected, expressed, RELEASED (like it or not) through your body and its instinctive reaction to music and creativity. Therefore Dance is never only* about the body for the body is the TEMPLE where all the faces of your Being manifest themselves on Earth.
Use everything - from a love affair to a bycicle ride - in your dance and you will notice that, as life itself evolves and matures inside you, your Dance will also evolve and mature. The dancer you were yesterday is not the dancer you are today the same way the person you were yesterday is not the person you are today.
Life reflects Dance/Art and Dance/Art reflect Life. Mirrors of each other, they retro-feed themselves as twins of the same Mother.Use that* in your favour: the great and the hard; the light and the darkness; the rage and the love. Do not exclude whatever - specially the most umpleasant of experiences for it is from those that the highest lessons and MOMENTS of GROWTH are born."

You really adore Bellydance, I can imagine you facedmany troubles-difficulties in your life to be a dancer and learn it and stay doing it.
And here you write about it and also I heared from you in the blog that you teach others how to bellydance.

AS I said you are so active.

BIG cheeeers

Dear Hazem,
Thanks - again- for following.
I love Oriental Dance, Art and Life in general. My dance, teaching and even writing reflect that LOVE and I am very glad that other people feel inspired by it all.
Love,
J*.

This is not a Book but a BOOKLET specifically written for an upcoming Workshop in London (1,2nd June) -The Secrets of Egyptian Dance.
Who knows if a Book is inside this Booklet? It can become one...let´s see if it happens*.
