Feedback on Tito's workshops & dance show on Sept 5, 6 & 7, 2008:
Thank you all for your wonderful participation!
"Hala and Tito make a beautiful stage duo, and their dance captured on film is a prime example of authentic Egyptian duet style. They interpret the song, and they dance a conversation, he proposing, she commenting. Neither copies the other exactly, but each paraphrases the other. It's apparent that the dance has been choreographed, but there's also a delightful improvisatory feel to it, a casual ease like a light-hearted conversation at a party. All of their fluidly graceful, undulating movements flow from the center, like incessantly bubbling lava inside a volcano. Their gestures are softly connected, originating from the torso. This is the kind of dancing I aspire to, and I watch Hala's videos for inspiration" Shauna Pickett-Gordon
Hi Hala,
I just wanted to thank you for hosting another lovely event with the amazing
Tito of Egypt. Between Tito's amazing teaching skills, his innovative
choreographies, and your incredible ability to be so well organized, the
workshops were a huge success. The show was exciting and also well run.
I enjoyed all of the performances and truly adored your duet with Tito.
You are a fabulous show producer and I appreciate all the work that goes
into bringing these big Egyptian stars to the US. We are fortunate to
have people like you in the belly dance communtiy. I look forward to future
events hosted by you.
Thank you Hala!

LOVED Tito's show!!!!! My sister and I were there -- we
agreed we couldn't remember when we had been so thoroughly entertained!
Wow, what a performer. Thanks for putting that together, it was an experience
that we will remember!
All the best,

I am a beginner dancer that Tito took to the next level
with his amazing energy. Others commented to me about that too. He does
teach you dance but more than that, because of his amazing energy, he
takes you to another level where you are able to take more risks and your
body just does amazing things you never thought possible.

Hala,
I wanted to compliment you on your organization of the Tito weekend. Everything
ran so smoothly. There was enough people to run things and everyone seemed
to know what they were doing. Everything was perfect. The hall was the
right type and the right size, the show certainly had quality dancers
and the theatre was very nice. Vendors were the right number and kind.
Nice turn out too. The only thing that was not quite up to par was that
we could not see Tito from the back part of the room. Maybe a closed camera
with a projection above his head set up next time, although he did at
times dance in the middle close to us... yum yum. Anyway, good job!! We
are so fortunate to have you close.
