Note: I've been lucky enough to take workshops with Nesma at several events, and she is one of the most inspiring artists I have met.
If you'd like to know more about Reda style, Andalusian dance, understanding Egyptian music and folklore, and/or working with live music and/or finding femininity and elegance in dance, I highly highly recommend her workshops, festival and formations.
Also be sure to check out her music CDs, which have beautiful full-orchestra arrangements of known and new songs.
Enjoy!
