Fall for Me Habibi 2007 - Greenville :)
The big update on the weekend is here :)

Friday night: Hafla!
We got into Greenville around 8 and were just in time to make it to part of the student hafla. Two of Ra'eesah's students had already performed, but they graciously re-performed their dances for us! I was really impressed at the progress they have made and am looking forward to seeing lots more in the coming years. Everyone was really sweet and I am glad we made it - even if it was pretty late. :)

Saturday: Workshop!
I taught a wonderful workshop on layering essentials and combinations at the Ma'at International Dance studio at Poe Mills and had a fantastic time. The experience levels ranged from first day of class (literally!) to over 20 years as a professional dancer, so it was a fun challenge to keep everyone engaged and adjust each segment for all of the different levels. The dancers did a great job and I think they had fun playing with layers in a new and different way. Hopefully I will get a couple of pictures from the workshop I can post here. The space is absolutely gorgeous and I am looking forward to teaching there again. Special thanks to Ra'eesah for sponsoring me - I really loved it!

Saturday night: Show!
The Fall For Me Habibi 2007 showcase was held at the Caspian Grill. Other than a few technical difficulties with music here and there the evening was a great success. Dancers from Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina graced the stage (and maybe other places....I didn't get the chance to find out where everyone was from). All of the performances were just beautiful - it is great to be part of such a talented community of dancers. We took video, but the restaurant turned the lights down low so most of it was just too dark. I will see what I can do with it and post it if it turns out.
