So last night was my last ‘official’ class with the cast of Arabian Nights. I will really miss them . We started with a brief warm up with everyone, even the guys! Matt was my back up dance teacher. LOL!! They really seem to enjoy the bellydance lessons!! Then we broke up into groups and I worked on the girls dances along with Naji and Daniel playing live music. This was the first time we practiced with live, so we had to work out the dances again. But it came together and the girls did a GREAT job! I am very proud of them and everyones hard work. I got to watch the whole first set of the show last night, and it is going to be fun. They really are a great group of hardworking actors/actresses and I feel so honored to be a part of the team!! A big Thanks to Allison Bergman, the Assistant Director of University Theatre. She is such a nice person and does a great job!! Check out the show: Arabian Nights
