Hadia is truly a dancer's dancer. Madam (as Xtine is fondly known to her students) says that Hadia really appeals to the hardcore bellydance addicts. So-I guess I must be a bellydance addict. Duh!:)
What I love about her is when she dances, this woman radiates joy. Pure and utter joy. She just dances. She just dances from her heart. That being said, her technique is fantastic. She just flows effortlessly from one sequence to the next.
I have put in a couple of videos that I think are fantastic, but they can't compete with a live performance of hers.
For those of you who have seen her perform improvisation live, you can vouch for what I'm going to say next- she just OOZES magic. Literally oozes magic. I can't describe it, it's like honey and molten gold and MAGIC. You can study for a lifetime without learning how to master it. She just has IT.
Hadia is also an excellent teacher, she has a unique way of teaching technique, what she calls her Body Logic technique. I've done a couple technique workshops with her, and they really do feel natural to the body, really relying on the natural mechanisms and rhythms of our body's movement.
I've opted to do her Professional week-long training as I couldn't do it last year. I'm really looking forward to it:).

I feel really rusty as I haven't been going to class regularly lately for a number of reasons, so I am feeling a bit anxious about the training. On the bright side, the week-long training is sure to clear out all the dance 'spiderwebs' that have accumulated due to my being rusty:).
