ZEINA - Mohammed Abdul Wahab

This is the song we’re using for our Beginners’ classes. Here’s a little guide on the song to help shaping your mood in interpreting the dance.

The line ZEINA ZEINA WALLAH YA ZEINA YA ZEINA is being repeated over & over in the song and here’s what it meant: (Zeina is a female name that means the beautiful http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Zeina.html) and the run on lines say: Oh Zeina, my God oh Zeina.

So this is the context, let’s interpret & dance with our own attitude towards this ‘desperate & yearning man looking at us with utter admiration!’ You can also listen to the original composition here (sung by 1 lead & group of chorus) http://lyle.smu.edu/~saad/abdelwahab/music.html , let me talk more abt Mohammed Abdel Wahab next time!

Proud! Produced & directed "Having Fun, Seriously", was a great success!

mmm... it's really been a while that I haven't updated this blog, it's abt time to catch up with some updates after all the hectic months!

May-Aug 09:

Very grateful to be invited by Hong Kong LCSD in presenting some choreographies by Cody. Being both the Producer & Director for the performance "Having Fun, Seriously."(4 shows), it has been tough since multitasking between everything at the backend like budgeting, marketing, production, costumes, coordinating... to the front directing dancers in terms of performance quality & lots of counselling to prepare them getting into the right characters, plus the endless hours reviewing videos with Cody and discussing creative directions of each choreography etc etc etc... been tough but well

worth it. It was great to get so much interests from the press as well- far beyond LCSD's expectations! (bet they haven't expected such high audience occupancy as well- 90% if we need an average here!) If you want to know more abt the show, the press & th

e group, visit www.codysmovinggroup.com , and here you go with our trailor edited by myself (the actual show video will be ready soon) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHr7tNzf-4U .

Now, the standard of our Group is set high, even more challenging for the next coming one in December,

the ever changing game
