Allow
me to introduce The Arab Quarterly as an evening of music and dancing to its
own live Arabic Quarter Band set up in 2009 by both Melanie Norman, who has an
established career teaching, choreographing and performing oriental dance, and
Chalf Hassan, an international musician who brings with him a wealth of
experience and great musicianship. The location is the beautifully restored
Islington Assembly Hall in London. To
that, I accompanied our lovely teacher Maho Beaumont and her invited troupe for
that particular evening, Sundara’s Patsy Foulkes and Lucy Moss, along with
Maho’s own student Sharon Vivers and Ashnah’s own Kay White.

We found our way there quite easily and the
ladies all disappeared backstage to re-emerge at the end of the show victorious
and happy! Maho’s had been the only ATS® tribal representation of the show
and introduced classical music to its repertoire – genius and awesome!!! Maho
or Liquid Gold (as I’m calling her from now on) and ladies, you absolutely
rocked that house – Also worthy of mention, is our most delectable Turkish
restaurant where we rounded off our evening – yummy!!!!
taking a well deserved bow |
