Hi, Rocky!
I had such a wonderful time during your classes at the Mendocino Music and Dance Camp this year. You are such an amazing and thorough teacher. I'm so pleased that I remembered the Dere Karsilama choreography from 2 years ago. You were right, once a person learns your choreography, it's with her for life! And that drum solo...so cute and fun...and what a difference it makes when the teacher actually listens to the music.
I have a favor to ask. I am teaching a new class and I was hoping for permission to use your warm-up, with full credit to you, of course. I have been using your warm-up for myself when I practice at home for the past two years, and I love it.
I also would like to include your web-site in my resource guide, if it is okay. Just the URL and my praise, I think it's excellent and the students would learn a heck of a lot by visiting.
Hope you had a nice holiday week-end and I hope I can see you again soon.
Best Wishes,
Izora (you know, the big red-head who
went to Turkey two years ago)

Morocco - Drum solo
Again only attended one class as I was on a kitchen scholarship which left me exhausted. The drum solo class was great with a good warm up and the movements clearly explained. I love the way Morocco teaches a choreography. Very thorough. The movements all felt right and working with Morocco was a pleasure.
I especially loved her performance. Beautiful costume and very professional performance. It really was a joy to watch and left me smiling from ear to ear. I have always found that good performers are very "life affirming" in their presentations and they share the joy that is inside. Morocco certainly did this for me. Bravo.
