Della had her workshop this weekend - for you local ladies who missed it - you missed a good thing! It had been a long week and I was sooooo tired, and I must confess I spent more time sitting and watching than I did dancing, but I still felt that I learned some things.

Siham Ali and Masani Azura were the teachers. I spent the first half of class watching Masani's hands in fascination. She is such a graceful drummer - her hands just seemd to dance. I loved the way she could flow from one rhythm to another - from baladi to masmudi to rhumba and back again with such grace. Siham's teaching was wonderful - she has such a warm personality and it really came out during her teaching .

The next half was Masani teaching and Siham drumming - and again, it was fun to just watch. Siham is a beautiful drummer as well and Masani is such a vibrant person, I think one would be hard-pressed to come away not feeling inspired.

Thank you Della for a wonderful workshop!!!!
