Suhaila’s Weeklong Intensive
I spent an amazing whole week this past August in Berkeley, CA consisting of 6 hour days filled with strengthening, stretching, muscle work, choreography and oh yeah: drills, drills & more drills. Work from four levels of Suhaila's Format was implemented as well as lectures, discussions and a rhythmic afternoon with Jamilla and her Format. Let's just say that by day 4 - I could run up the 8 flights of stairs to my hotel room and not even feel it. Suhaila Salimpour has a big personality and belly dance is her life. Her vision and the sharing of it with others is inspiring.

Sweating it out during an afternoon of drills, drills, drills.
Jamilla is beautiful, hip, a fabulous story teller and can you believe it: in her 70’s!
A crushing hug from the task mistress Suhaila

I did get a chance to check out the fun in Frisco, of course.
