| Greeting the audience as Basimah begins her first solo performance and choreography! |

| Basimah with friends Ha'nah and Sapphire (center) before a show! A great example of costuming for specific performances. Ha'nah performed a classic Egyptian dance, Sapphire a folkloric Egyptian Saiidi piece, and Basimah performed a Roma/Turkish inspired fusion dance. |
