... or otherwise indisposed. So don't worry about what you missed. Here's what you have to look forward to next week:

* An introduction to the masmoudi rhythm, something new to play on the zills
* A review of Tin Tin for the Ethnic Festival
* Starting to learn various steps for the Dabke, which is a simple ethnic line dance that is good for warming up, and we can use is at the Ethnic Festival (and other places)
* Movement to interpret masmoudi rhythm
* Balancing (I've got really cool Pharonic piece of music to use for Siham's show next fall, and those of you who wish to can show off your skills balancing trays or swords)
* Opening up and caring for our backs (now that you all have a bit more movement in the shoulders, I want to start developing more healthy back flexibility)
* Cool down with new back stretches

See you all next week. At least, I hope everyone will be well by then.
