Saqarah

Finally got to dance at Saqarah last night and had as much fun on stage as off. Not sure my dance went exactly to plan but I had a really brilliant night out all the same. Trouble was, the level of dancing was outstanding and I couldn't wait to get back out in the audience to watch the rest of the show, including my good friend and fellow Ramzy troupe member, Rachel-looking gorgeous and effortless as ever! Everyone I met was so lovely- no airs or divas, just love of dancing. Definately a place worth many repeat visits in the future.

London Workshop

No idea how I kept going this weekend with 2 full days of dance workshops run by Serena and Hossam Ramzy, plus partying the night away to celebrate the recent marriage of my ever optomistic and lovely friend, student and fellow troupe member, Verity and 'Mr Verity', Simon.
Actually, I do know because when you hang around people who have a real lust for life and such enthusiasm for the things they are passionate about, it tends to rub off and energise those around them!
The workshops were brilliant as ever- I'm never disappointed when I attend one of Hossam and Serena's workshops because they are always able to sucessfully combine a stunning choreography with beautiful music, help dancers to understand and interpret the music they are dancing to but continue to keep the atmosphere fun and welcoming. Sounds a bit like I'm getting some kind of commission here!? Honestly though, it's time and money well spent and I know, by the familiar faces I see at their events that others agree!
