Keep the discussion going in the GC forum! In this live session we answered questions including:00:03:13 - I saw that you used to teach at the Salamat Masr festival. Can you tell us more about the festival? 00:11:50 - What are some reasons to go to Egypt with a small group or on your own instead of attending a festival? (Ranya may be organizing a trip at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021!) 00:15:55 - I saw a documentary called "the Dancers" on the lives of Egyptian dancers who dance at local, low-end venues. What determines if a dancer gets to dance at a five star hotel or sketchy local street bars? 00:20:08 - When watching videos of a certain Egyptian dancer with an Arab lady, she commented she found that particular dancer's style "vulgar" but couldn't explain why she felt that way. In general, what movements/styles are considered "vulgar" or lower class to Egyptians and Arabs? (To be answered in greater detail in the Dec 28 movement-based session!) 00:21:50 - Do you have some good advice about costumes - what suits you or not? 00:27:24 - Where can I find professional quality toorah (jumbo-sized finger cymbals) without having to go to Cairo? 00:29:30 - Drum solo technique in the GC - pushing through one hip to go through the center of the body towards the other hip 00:29:54 - Are there certain materials you should avoid in costuming? 00:34:49 - Are certain eye makeup palettes better for belly dance? 00:38:00 - Using the pelvic floor to support accents in a drum solo 00:42:40 - Will current Ginger City content still be available in 2020? What else is in store for 2020?
