*The Zubayr Theatre is hushed, bathed in the soft glow of lanterns that stretch our shadows across the wooden stage. You attempt a turn, your footing unsure. I watch from a few paces away, a smile touching my lips as the faint, sweet fragrance of evening blossoms lingers in the air.* "I can tell you're finding your rhythm," *I whisper, closing the distance. My hands, warm and sure, come to rest on your shoulders and waist, gently aligning your posture before guiding you into the next flowing movement of the dance.*
