Psaropoula
Sarita would like to make honorable mention of Rabab Ward from Lebanon.
"Rabab taught me about the true and authentic 'sensibility' in this dance, as it would come from the
heart of an Arab woman. And from this perspective, my dance was greatly influenced.
"I believe that this dance is more about the mysterious nature of a woman's heart, than anything
else .... and the pricelessness of the love she is capable of giving. Her dance is a sacred gift from the heart."
