Hossam & Serena Ramzy's International Tour Photos from the Workshop in Singapore July 4-7, 2003 photos sent to GS by the Ramzy's text supplied by the event sponsor, Miss Serene Lim There were wonderful (but scary) moments, such as, "On The Spot-Tabla Solos" and "Improvisation Segments" that gave participants the opportunity to dance either with Hossam Ramzy, who is not seen in this photo, drumming (What a thrill!) or to a selection of music from the Ramzy Music International Collection. This was both a challenge and a great learning experience, clearly illustrating the differences between prerecorded and live music for amateur and professional dancers alike. The sponsor and organiser was not spared from the pressure of this spotlight! |

The “Tuck It Under” Phenomenon
by Vilia (Valerie Cherry)
“Tucking under” is for ballet, and it has less
to do with posture than it does with enabling the execution of the kinds
of movements and positions that ballet demands.

fears about our security from friends, everywhere we went in Turkey,
we met with nothing but perfect friendliness and assistance.
