JANE WASS
A professional dancer and teacher since 2002, who has developed an individual style of dance: rooted in traditional Egyptian dance but with a modern, global aesthetic, sometimes with a hint of spanish and jazz from other dance journeys, and combining a subtle yet fluidly powerful technique along with a deep connection to the music and the emotions.

EGYPTIAN SAIDI DANCE AND DRUMS
Vibrant colours, warmth of the air and of the people, joy, ease of being in the body. That's what I wanted to bring to this film, as it's what I feel and return to again and again.
And inspired by a mosaic floor in a hotel on the West Bank of Luxor.
Accompanied by the fantastic drummers of the Luxor region who live and breathe their music. It's the real thing.
And as usual with my work in Egypt, this was totally improvised. Hamada Fathy and Saleh Dahab took their seats and we just started.
Thanks to Saad Hassan, Frances Ottaway and Kate Smith, and as usual everyone at the El Gezira Hotel.
If you do like it, please feel free to share and I'd be very grateful if you'd 'like' it on YouTube. I don't play the hype game, so any help to encourage YouTube to show it would be great.

WEDNESDAY'S MUSIC CLIP
This week's music clip - chosen with my upcoming trip to Cairo in mind.
A great mix of oriental music and jazz. See what you think.
