message from Sahra Saeeda:
"I truly enjoyed the first IBCC conference I taught at. I was very impressed by Yasmina's work and level of organization and her overall scope combining academic research, performance, and dance education by international Masters of the dance. I remember being so overcome by Yasmina's group choreography to Oum Khalsoum that the tears were flowing down my cheeks. I highly respect Yasmina's artistry, her creativity, and her profound contribution to the world of Middle Eastern Dance. She is educating about the deep, organic structure of Egyptian dance. This year's conference promises to be especially rewarding and fulfilling for all who attend."
