Mariam, apart from this superb dance, teaches primarily that for a woman keen to express her femininity, what matters is not her extra-weight, her age or whatever message is conveyed by the modern media-industry. Besides, Mariam herself bursts with charm and femininity. Her lessons, in addition to the teaching of oriental dancing movements and of the harmonization of our femininity, constitute a holistic alternative psychotherapeutic process; a very pleasant process, dominated by the restitution of certain qualities – long-forgotten by some of Mariam’s disciples because of our western way of life – i.e. of femininity and joy.
