hey, just to make you all envious: aziza is in brussels at the moment, teaching and performing. we already had two great workshops. i want going to post till she left, but i want to share already.

- advanced fluidity, with a lot of new drilling material. great reminder we all have to work harder
- a really cool drum solo, not too long so we sort of managed. but was i tired after! i usually dont like drum solo's much, and i almost never dance other people's choreo's but this one will be tempting..

BUT BUT BUT BUT

i love her as a teacher, but the best part is always seeing her perform. yes, she can do that in my livingroom a lot (i want a new performance dvd!!!) but, live, is a different thing. she did a beautifull slow piece in a stunning dress, it was soo euh, let's find a word, mmm: a marvel....

for the second set she was wearing a costume i hadnt seen yet (forgot to ask, is it new?), with an animal print and thousands of rinestones, she sparkled and sparked. there was veil work (oh, and a few new surprising combinations there, how does she keep coming up with it) and the "cat song", very very very funny.

i never know how to describe it really. she was just wonderfull. sometimes i forget to clap and cheer cause it's just mesmerizing.

, off to get ready now, to go and take her veil workshop,,

aziza, we love you, thank you for traveling all this way again and again. my students say hello and cant stop talking about you either. i'll hear nothing but aziza this aziza that for the next months.
