Me, Souhair Zaki, Tarab & my Awakening
Me and Souhair Zaki at "Ahlan wa Sahlan" Festival in Cairo, Egypt
She was the unbeatable reference of elegance, art, dignity, artistry and soul in Egyptian Dance and I was a student, traveling in Egypt, in search for myself, in search of the roots of the dance I´d come to call my own.
Her name was(is) Souhair Zaki and she gave me one of the biggest gifts a Teacher can offer a Student: a glimpse into the true meaning of "Raks el Sharki", Egyptian Oriental Dance; the so-called, erroneously denominated "belly dance".
Me, Souhair Zaki, Tarab and the Awakening that changed the course of my life.
Listen to the real-life story in this blog post/podcast post & be ready to bloom.
