I dedicate these
quotes to all who
have touched, changed or bruised my life.
You are or have been important to me,
and shall always be part of my experience, consciousness, wisdom,
compassion, and nourishment for my creativity.
Love, like energy,
has no beginning and no end - It merely transcends ... changes us ... moves
our souls ...
Love is the most important dance!
Do your dance, and do it well!
~ Jihan Jamal-Baraka
"Ever has it been that love knows its own depth until the
hour of separation"
~ Gibran Khalil Gibran
"All you need is
love"
~John Lennon
"Him that I love,
I wish to be free -
Even from me!"
~Anne Morrow Lindberg
"To love means to
open ourselves to the negative, as well as the positive -
To grief, sorrow, and disappointment, as well as to joy, fulfillment and an
intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before"
~ Rollo May
"The
beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not
to twist them to fit out own image.
Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them"
~ Thomas Merton
"Being deeply loved by someone,
gives you strength.
Loving someone deeply, gives you courage."
~ Lao - Tzu
"Love is never
lost. If not reciprocated,
it will flow back and soften
and purify the heart"
~ Washington Irvin
"Risks must be taken, because the greatest
hazard in life is to risk nothing"
~ Leo Buscaglia (Dr.Love, Himself!)

B.O.D.Y.
(Bellyrina Oriental Dance & Yoga
is Jihan's newly enhanced method of teaching dance as both an art form
and fitness program for all students, from beginner's to performance and
competition levels.
Jihan blends the benefits of Yoga Asanas,
isometric exercises, floor barre and classical dancer's
stretches, in her "warm-up and warm-down"
segments, at the beginning end of each dance class.
"While developing my personal fitness program for ultimate levels of
fitness, stamina and performance refinement and discipline, I have been
working on enhancing the Jamal Method of teaching Arabic dance arts,
while always emphasizing classical corporal dance discipline and
technique, as well as creative movement and development -Empowering
myself through Yoga and dance movement, thus conditioning spirit, mind
and body collaboration and correlation, in dealing with everyday life
experiences. I want to share with you the positive results of the YES I
CAN attitude in life. I want to share my journey with you, my student.
November 2009 HIGHLIGHTED my 30th year anniversary as an Oriental dance
artist, and I am going through a renewal of my own, and I'm so excited,
I can't keep it to myself!
