Does Mom love the dog best?

This is advertising I got in my InBox this week.  I think it is extremely hilarious.  For those of you curious - I have ordered (dress) shirts from DoodleSport with a Great Pyrenees embroidered over the pocket and - they are true to size, well done and wear well.

Amarain....

finally spent an hour or more doing a complete musical break down of Amarain by Amr Diab.  my next choreography project.

Yes I am musically challenged which makes it harder than you think.

Basically I break it down into segments of roughly 30 seconds or less.  I cut them into bits and save them individually so that I can choreograph them independently - for the purposes of teaching.  If it was just me - I'd wing the whole d@mn thing.

Amr Diab is a big favourite among my students.  The song is pleasant enough.  There's a goodly amount of repetition.   I don't hate it.  yet.  A little more Egyptian pop than I'd like, AND in Arabic - yippie.  It's a big advantage to have lyrics in English... *sigh*  (I did find a translation on Shira's site so that was very helpful. 

so ... now I just have to put movements to the segments.  *groan*
