	Teaching Ethnic Dance: The Raqs Sharqi Experience
		First of all, I would be the only one teaching an "ethnic" dance for which there is no teaching technique developed to teach the "ethnics" of the countries where the dance originates.

		They act and react in the same way, overlooking how the spectacle of old hatreds erupting in their primordial cruelty is a dance staged for their eyes, a dance for which the West is thoroughly responsible.
		OLD ethnic hatreds, of course, are far from being simply imagined, they are a historical legacy.
		The proper subject for analysis is rather the hysterical split that characterises the attitude of the West — the uncanny antagonism between its "official" politics (preventing ethnic cleansing) and its true desire (to allow the Serbs to finish their work and then, after the fait accompli, to impose peace).

	San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival review from Ballet.co
		The Moon Courting dance displayed a diversity of costumes for the three men who court a handsome young woman dressed in a Yi costume, trying to sidle up after entertaining her with individual musical instruments.
		Her full, fluid skirt with its broad bands of blue, white, red and a fl border was perfect for swishing and rapid turns which were prominent the second half of the ensemble’s dancing.
		The Three Drum Dance, however, was the focus of the company; five sets of three drums in a shallow U shape lined the back of the stage and two stacks of drums on either side of left and right stage front.

		Hopefully, they'll see the ethnic dance groups who try to present the debke, the Ghawazee, the ghedra, the karshlama, etc., in forms consistent to the way these dances are done in their respective countries.
