I am so far beyond understanding how anyone could have been disappointed!!!

I could see that some people wanted more technical breakdown, but I think since the point of the seminar was to try to get us to see these dances the way Arab peoples see them, getting deeply into technique would have been counterproductive to the goal of the seminar.
Katia is so Nagwa Fouad influenced, that's mostly what I see when I watch her dance. I see more Suhair Zaki type style in Cassandra. I think I can see how they may have had the same initial training, but they took it in different directions.
