If there is one word that describes Mademoiselle Sofia, it is serene. She exudes her inner calm upon first meeting. She is dancing with two hotheaded Leos, but still manages to be the fulcrum in our fun. If Maral and myself are fire, she is a calm stream that gently douses our flames.

And her charm is only outdone by her warmth as a person. In our journey to become better dancers, it has been my joy to watch her growth, and share in the process. What man wouldn't count himself lucky to be connected to two such beautiful women and beautiful dancers as my troupemates in Shades Of Araby.

But there is more than us as dancers... there is that growing bond as friends. We have had some deep discussions, I've overshared on more than one occasion and yet the friendship remains.

Salut mon cher amie!
