I think it s right after the instruction.. To really get into Jillina s style, I think I need to watch her some more.. the "space-taking" is not really my thing so far :) But she s a great entertainer, which shines through in this one performance I adored so much!!!! I m glad you like it :) I bet you like her solo performance in the silver bra, dont you??? that s the one I fell for!!

I got this DVD now. And I must say I rather like it! I'm totally not into Egyptian pop music at all and find the whole Hakim sound very harsh -- but I like the sizzle in Jillina's performance. I like her moves and think they're very usable elsewhere. I like the spins and turns and space-taking traveling steps. I think the choreography has real presence. Hey Dina. I got this DVD now.

Yes this is the pop choreo I was talking about! You see a tiny tiny glimpse at her performance which "got" me at 1.20 of the trailer, only a few seconds! There are various performances of the same song on the dvd, but only this one "clicked" for me :) P.s. Yes this is the pop choreo I was talking about!

Actually, I meant I did not like the pop choreo sooo much.. the choreo itself, I mean - and I do not like this particular style of Egyptian pop that much, either. The Saad and Hakim style, other musicians and sha'abi music more general I do sometimes like. The Hakim style - I find it very masculine, "get me in the face" manner :D well as for Jillina while neither the song nor her particular choreo is my style in itself, her live rendition of the choreography, which is featured on the dvd, is just glorious. I LOVE her personality on that one. Just amazing, sparkling, bursting of life and joy. Same with the drum solo you were writing about - this one I like without hesitation! I ve seen it online only, and do not own the dvd... but from the youtube clip where one can see Jillina in training dress dancing the choreo - just WOW! a trully original drum solo, as you said! I ll for sure get this dvd at some point - for now I cannot yet get my shimmy going on command, so: drum solo, so long, we ll meet in a year or so :) But I m sure it s amazing performing this particular one for friends and family, enjoy!!!!!!!!!

I like the moves and this is just the stuff that you can dance to with any other music.

But recently I've got to like what she teaches. Even taken separately, the components of the funky drum solo are useful. Is that the one you don't like? The drum solo featured in my post? Coincidentally, I'm also about to get the Egyptian pop choreography from a friend. Let's see how I like. The problem may just be that I won't like the music. I hate Egyptian pop music. Hi Dina,

How funny I discovered this youtube video a few weeks ago - a friend suggested she give me her Jillinia choreography video at a low price.. I was not sure as, to be honest, so far I had not liked Jillina s dancing style AT ALL... "Vegas, Baby!" I recently called it :) Now the video I got from her is the IAMED choreography. I do not like the choreo itself SOOOO much, but Jillina s way of presenting it is gorgeous. And well in the search for the IAMED youtube trailer I came across this one instead the Egyptian choreo and LOVED it!! She s amazing in this one, trully! Hi Mala,
