Last weekend Anajahela and I went to Tahiya Hassan's drum solo workshop. It kicked major petooty! It made me realize how much of that Egyptian style I've forgotten while pursuing Gypsy dance.

I managed to keep up and only feel like a creaky marionette on a couple of moves. I thought that Tahiya was a good teacher, in fact a great teacher for me. She managed to get across moves that I didn't think I'd even have a shot in the dark of learning.

Anyway, Tahiya kicked ass! I'm going back to her 6-week course in September.
