If we have a dream, we should go for it…. - 3-11-05 Wings, The Complete Technique, a private lesson with Ayshe
Well, I have to say that I must take a bit of an issue with the title of this DVD. “A private lesson” with Ayshe? More like an intensive, private seminar!

I remember the saying "Cairo is the Hollywood of Bellydance" is for a reason, and I think the ancient Egyptian theme takes us back to where the roots are deepest. - 9-8-09 Ask Yasmina #9: Teaching Differences, New Troupes, Men in Bellydance
As an ensemble becomes larger and more professional, it will find that it is more efficient and effective if it models itself like a professional company with defined roles - 9-1-09 Maud Allen: La Femme Fatale
