The "Master Teachers" of Unveiling (The "Best of the Best" - in the World!)

The Master Teachers of Unveiling: The Inner Journey

Beginning today, I'm introducing - and thanking - the "personae dramatis" of Unveiling: The Inner Journey; the "cast of characters" who've made it all possible.

Each person whom I'll acknowledge - in today's and several forthcoming posts - actually is mentioned in the "Acknowledgements" of Unveiling. So continuing with the "personae dramatis" analogy; each of these persons will be "cast" (Master Teachers, Wise Men and Wise Women, Heroes, Heroines, and Healers, and many others), or they will be the "support team" - the production crew, the people who helped make it all happen. So just as you read a stream of rolling credits at the end of a movie, we'll have "rolling credits" for Unveiling, starting today.

The two Master Teachers whom I reference the most throughout Unveiling are Anahid Sofian and Elena Lentini, both based in New York City.

And now, since one of the great joys and privileges of running my own blog (and company) is that I can plug those whom I believe deserve extra-special attention: Anahid is hosting her 5-day intensive in New York City later this August, from Weds., August 17 - Sunday, August 21st.

A brief run-down of the topics that she'll teach (with two special guest teachers) is:

• Zill drills & techniques,
• Oriental "port de bras" (positioning of arms; VERY important and too few teachers give a structured foundation in this; Anahid is one of the very best),
• Classical Arabic dance (Awalim),
• Drum solo strategies,
• The "Art of the Veil" (an Anahid-specialty; I love how she introduces and builds on various "veil patterns",
• Turkish cabaret karshilama, and
• Classical & contemporary Persian ballet (taught by Special Guest teacher Sharzad Khorsandi).

Guest teachers will include Eva Cernik (whom I adore, and who is also mentioned in Unveiling), and Sharzad Khorsandi (Persian style) - I think she's teaching on Saturday(?).

There will be a gala performance event Friday evening, August 19th, at the Lafayette Grill in downtown Manhattan.

The price for the entire 5-day intensive is only $375, and daily rates (space permitting) are available.
