Sorry I've been so quiet. I'm been moving so much, and working on so many projects, that I've just barely had time to work on the main stuff.

Thanks to Mahira for getting such a nice shot of me!
That's me dancing with some new friends at Juilana's, an Arabic Club in Chicago. The Dina workshop was an...intense weekend. I'm still trying to process through it.
More later, perhaps, but one short thing -- I need to think more about it, but I feel I'm finally (finally!) beginning to grasp why so many Arabic dancers think we Westerners are such stuffed shirts in our dancing...

I look forward to your thoughts on the stuffed shirt concept...
