Dr. Mo will teach two choreographies. At one workshop Mo will teach an entertaining balady routine ( El Baladi Yewkal). At the second workshop, Dr. Mo will teach a theatrical oriental dance routine on the Music El-Hawa (The love).. On Sunday, Dr. Mo will give a 2 hour lecture on the history of Bellydance.
 
In all workshops Dr. Mo will also teach the techniques necessary to do the choreographies, using his unique approach. Dr. Mo has literally stepped into light creating an Egyptian dance technique, one, which is logical, easy to comprehend and above all else authentic Egyptian technique. Mo will cover in his technique the foot work, which is the corner stone of dancers, allowing for coordination, quick changes and special awareness, breathing, an integral part of dancing allowing easier and smoother movements, Energy distribution, which is the overall dynamic of dancer, and fine details, which applies to gaining a feeling of expression which goes on top of the technique, a deeper personal understanding and appreciation of the way Egyptian women dance, their attitude and feelings.

Just a few comments about Ahlan Cairo Nights:

Hi,
Thank you so much for everything. I had a great time this past weekend. It was a big honor for me to teach and perform with great Egyptian artists. I am very grateful you asked me to be a part of your event.

Plus I had an opportunity to see alot of my Texas friends. I like alot of the ladies there and it's fun seeing them. I know how hard you work to put on these events. I want you to know it is really appreciated by a lot of people.


I hope you can all get some rest :0)
BIG KISSES TO ALL OF YOU!
Love,
Zahra Zuhair 

Hello Dee Dee, Nora & Ahmad,

Thank you so much for a wonderful show & experience!  I can't wait to come back to your next event.  You are all very welcoming, fun & enthusiastic.  I really enjoyed meeting so many nice people, shopping, 
and, of course, experiencing the unforgettable pleasure of being taughtby *Nagwa Fouad*, Dr. Geddawi (Nora you are right-he is SO nice), Faten Salama, Randa & Zahra Zuhair. 
Again, thank you for a terrific weekend!
 Sincerely,
         Naiya (Debi del Prado)

Hi everyone!  I loved your event and it was worth flying out from southern Calif for.  Thank you for
