Kismet's Festival Salt
Lake City Photos and Report by Aziza!
Its
purpose is to focus on culture and the arts to celebrate the richness
of talent, creativity and experience among the diverse peoples
of the Salt Lake Valley and the Wasatch Mountains, so it is a
perfect place for Kismet's Festival.

Hossam & Serena
Ramzy's International Tour, Photos from the Workshop in Singapore
held on July 4-7, 2003

was both a challenge and a great learning experience, clearly
illustrating the differences between prerecorded and live music
for amateur and professional dancers alike.
