Suhaila Salimpour is teaching a certification workshop in Brussels in October, and part of me wants to subscribe while another part of me thinks:'no way!'.

Pro:
- it is a solid dance format. I like her dvds and her technique has certainly made me a stronger dancer
- it is in Belgium, so much closer then America/Berkley will ever be
- meaning it is cheaper then traveling to America if I wanted to get certified
- it would be good for me

Con:
- I took a workshop with Suhaila and what I glimpsed from her, she is not my style of teacher. I don't like it when people scream at me
- it would be a hell of a lot of money. For reference: workshop 460, certification 200, travel expenses 100, hotel cost 200. We're roughly looking at 1.000 euro (1400 usd). I don't think it's worth that much money
- I would not travel to America for Suhiala. Why would I bother traveling to Brussels for her?

For free, that is. You can sign up for a three day trial and save the classes to your hard drive, which is what I'm doing right now. It's taking forever but there is a lot of yummy stuff in their, like a veil choreo workshop with Tamalyn Dallal and a cane dance with Sabriye. So also fun for people who are not Suhalia addicts :).

I plan on using the classes in the next three months. I'm mainly focusing on level 1 classes (there are about 20 level 1 classes available) but I might try level 2 and 3 too, to set myself a challenge.
