Wednesday Inspiration: Dina

A beautiful vintage clip of Dina today.

This illustrates so many of the things we love about her in 5 short minutes: her warmth and charm, which radiate even from a big stage, her creative and innovative costuming and of course, her incredible dancing :)

I hope you enjoy that and that you have a great rest of the week!  And a little reminder that registration is now open for both residents and non-residents for my classes through the South San Francisco Park and Rec.  All the details are on my classes page.  

Thanks for visiting and Happy Dancing!

Wednesday Inspiration: Samia Gamal

Another Wednesday, another dose of sequiny glamour and beautiful Egyptian dancing!  Today's clip is from the legendary Samia Gamal.

She has a beautiful smile and expresses such joy in her dance.  I hope you enjoy the clip and that you have a great rest of the week!

A Vintage Clip

Good morning, friends!  I am so sorry that I am a bit late with my post this morning!  I normally like to post Mondays and Wednesdays by 9AM, but I may have spent a little too much time on Mother's Day lounging around instead of getting prepped for the week!  So today I will just keep it short and share one of my very favorite clips.  It is of Soheir Zaki, who I just can't watch enough.

Isn't she beautiful?  This clip is under two minutes, and I am not entirely sure that the video and audio are synced properly, but it is still just so beautiful - I just love the way she dances and her sweetness.  I feel like you can really just enjoy yourself the she is dancing, do you know what I mean??

I hope you enjoyed that and I wish you all a Happy Monday and a Happy Week of Dancing!
