AYSHE AS PHOENIX :: neon

The other day we filmed Ayshe's "Phoenix" choreography - performance and instruction - for World Dance New York. Featuring wings of Isis, the choreography presents all the elements of Ayshe's spectacular signature style - flawless body lines and angles, pacing and sophistication of wing work patterns - condensed into 3 minutes of soaring dreamlike images. Both, performance and choreography breakdown will appear in "Fantasy Bellydance: You are Mystery" DVD by WDNY coming in Feb. 2008 (intermediate level).
The images below are screen shots from the video.
After the videoshoot, we settled for dinner at Brendan's: Ayshe ordered "banana zango" desert for her main course. The habit of frequenting Max Brenner's chocolate restaurants (where ordering chocolate martini followed by chocolate soup and chocolate pizza is appropriate) has greately affected many an impressionable soul in NYC since the latest onset of the chocolate mania.
Ayshe lives off Times Square in a hi-rise building overlooking theater district: she has two cats and "Wings: The Complete Technique" DVD.
