it is done, m'dear!!!

Dear Laurie,
Badawia was one of my main instructors for the first 5 years of my dance life. She was an American style belly dancer with heavy Arab folkoric overtones and she was from Jordan, so there was a strong Arab accent in her dance. She was stunningly beautiful and passionate, even in her every day life, even when she was tearing out walls in her house in Portland, etc. I followed her around and occasionally went to stay with her or brought her up to Spokane where I live, or she would occasionally stop to spend the night on her way to other places. More than even movement. she taught me about "Arabness" in the dance, that it was a cultural offering as well as an entertainment. The last time I was in contact with her, she was till in Portland and married to Dr. Bill, and American guy who is really sweet. Bill and she used to spend a lot of time in Mexico, where he was active with one of those "Drs without Borders organizations. Her name is Wedad , (means "loveable" in Arabic). She used to tell wonderful stories about her family in Jordan and how she came to be in America. I have warm memories of staying at her house and seeing her dance in Grecian Gardens and Athens West, (to Greek music.... there did not seem to be Arab bands in Portland at the time...) Where can I see her photo that was mentioned here? I have one of her posters and her cover from the old Habibi Magazine and I cherish them, along with the personal photos I have of her.
Regards,
A'isha
