I never go on stage unless I have something to say and share with dancers and audience. It's really the only moment I can really breathe and be true head to toe.<br /><br />Dance is my meditation and my escape.<br /><br />Come to see "reset" dance show June 10-13 at the Theatre Building in Chicago, 1225 W. Belmont (Belmont and Racine)<br /><br />Tell me what you think of the show. Please post your comments here.<br /><br />Let's talk!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5084575031792912618-2103575356417061607?l=karimtonsydance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karim Tonsy Egyptian Dance Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09980023096642336870noreply@blogger.com0
