She had the opportunity to perform with Bal Anat at Rakassah this year (jealous!!), and after the show they staged a nightclub evening in a studio where the dancers could perform to live music. As you will see, this is an improvised routine, with music chosen by the musicians. Asharah shares a beautifully lyrical interpretation in the video that I think deserves an Mm Mm!
Mm Mm Monday - Asharah
Monday, April 15, 2013
Asharah is not only a dancer I have long admired, but a dance scholar I have long shared a kinship with. She loves to float over the labels, but not in an irreverent "I do what I want" kind way. Instead it is with great thoughtfulness, intelligence, and care that she makes her artistic choices, and it surely shines through when she dances.

Mm Mm Monday - Dahlia Moon

Dahlia is a lovely local dancer here in Seattle. She is incredibly versatile, dancing both classical Oriental styles (as seen here), and also studying and teaching Hot Pot ITS. My favorite is when she goes old school on us, as in this piece where she gives a very moving performance to a live oud solo by Steven of House of Tarab. Yummy and inspiring.
