| "Cairo : Alexandria - Fayoum Oasis " | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Following the visit to Cairo in June 2000 and Luxor in May 2002, Béatrice continued this cultural and "human" adventure in March 2004, by bringing to life a journey both rich in diversity and contrasts:
Cairo: a fascinating Capital full of surprises. Alexandria: a truly remarkable city and one of the greatest of the metropolises of the ancient Greek world. The Oasis of Fayoum: a fertile paradise and resplendent heart of the Ptolemaic dynasty. |

This new project, once again, lived up to its expectations by offering its participants, who came from Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Finland and England, the unique opportunity to discover different facets of Egypt, whether through dance, visits or cultural evenings. It was actually much more that just a trip or a holiday; it was more a journey of initiation, a unique experience, a breath of fresh air.. |

The numerous emails and letters written by the participants are a wonderful expression and illustration of the intensity of this living dream. A selection of these thoughts enhances the page dedicated to the dance workshops. Enjoy this discovery! Happy reading!
See you soon for a new Rendez-vous!... |

| « Voilà, je crois que je ne suis pas la seule mais je voulais te dire que j'ai de merveilleux souvenirs plein la tête, que j'ai vécu une expérience de groupe inoubliable dans un pays surprenant de contrastes!
Cette ambiance de tant de personnes différentes unies par un même lien, c'est toi qui l'a crée et franchement, tu as de quoi en être fière...J'ai rarement connu un groupe aussi rapidement soudé alors qu'on étaient plusieurs à ne pas connaître grand monde. Merci aussi à vous deux de vous être démenés pour que tout "coule" et que nous puissions vivre pleinement cette belle expérience. » Claude |

| « Hélas... Bien arrivée..., la preuve: mon ami dit avoir retrouvé une nouvelle Alix à l'aéroport! C'est vrai que je me trouve mieux centrée, moins sauvageonne, plus confiante et aussi confortable dans cet espace (très) charnel qui m'a été donné. Merci encore, Béatrice, pour moi ce voyage a été par-fait à tout point de vue, un merveilleux cadeau. J'espère venir danser à Bruxelles très bientôt en attendant un stage à Genève!

| " Ya Béatrice, Un petit merci grand comme Misr ! Je tiens à te remercier à nouveau pour ce superbe voyage initiatique.
Initiatique car même si l'on connaît l'Egypte, on la découvre chaque fois différemment. Initiatique car les stages avec les musiciens nous ont apporté tant d'émotions et de joies. Initiatique, enfin, car cette expérience a confirmé certaines de mes pensées et m'en a révélé de nouvelles. (...) La semaine fut tellement riche en événements, émotions, rencontres, (re)découvertes, que j'ai passé un moment inoubliable. Shukran kathîran wa ma'a l salâma." Christine |

| "Hello dear Béatrice,
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful trip in Egypt. I enjoyed the trip, specially dancing and the evening in Cairo Opera House. Wishing you all the best." Helena |

| "Dear Beatrice,
I would like to thank you for the excellent organisation of the trip and for the care you both had towards us at any moment. We did enjoy until the last moment. You should have seen us all at the airport: by the time we were getting closer to Brussels our faces were getting longer with sadness...but still reactive! Some of us even burst in tears when we came to greetings: everybody was sad to go back home! And this is because of the particular attention you put in each of us and your being there all the time to make our staying pleasant even for each s mall detail. I definitively appreciate it a lot and I took back a lot of sweet memories with me. Even if it's a grey day here, I have the sun of Egypt in my mind and the Mediterranean taste of a Country which has still something human. I can't forget all the children around me in Fayoum, the singers from the Nile, the availability of the guide. It's a land full of charm which I'm discovering thanks to you, through your dance, through this trip... More then a trip it has been an experience therefore a special thank to you for that. Looking forward to the next trip!" Stefania |

| "Hello Beatrice,
Just a very short note to say 'thank you' for a wonderful experience in Cairo. You were right, it wasn't a 'holiday' in the usual sense of rest and relaxation but, it was a fascinating glimpse into Egypt . I've now achieved one of my ambitions, which was to see the pyramids. But never did I think I also very much enjoyed the dancing and the musicians. If you've ever seen the film 'Red Shoes' with Moira Shearer, that's how it felt. We may have been tired, but once we heard the live music, we couldn't stop. That was a real thrill for many of us. We'd also like to know what you take to have so much energy... I felt quite liberated to dance with expression and more freedom in my upper body. Back home now in England I hope to maintain at least an essence of that. I teach my last class of this term tonight and really want to give them the same enthusiasm that you gave us (...)." Bridget |
