May. 31st, 2006 11:23 amI finally broke down and took drugs for this creeping illness. I feel much better but there must have been antihistimines in what I took. If you gave me brains, I would eat them.
Once again a great class with Najmat. We worked on something that was more or less the opposite of the Sohair Zaki chonk, with the accent on the pulling up of the hip rather than on the down. Then we put a shimmy on it. Sort of. With practice, it will be cool. It also seemed like a good movement for working exactly the hip flexors I need to be working on. As always, I love the flavor that Najmat's teaching is giving my dancing--if I ever have any doubts that Egyptian/Arabic style is the right thing for me, an hour with her erases them completely. It just feels so right.
