Costuming marathon: Muwashahat, Part 1
May. 11th, 2011 08:03 pm A couple of my friends and I took a workshop Muwashahat with Farida Fahmy last year. Roos Belinfante is having her annual student show on May 15th and we wanted to do a new group choreography, since practicing for the RonDom Buikdans show worked really well
