Testimonials

Janet (Age 34)

Just wanted to drop you a note to say how grateful I am to have found you and your belly dance community. I don’t believe I have ever felt so accepted, included and loved by a group of individuals. The support and encouragement within the group is amazing. It’s a reflection of your support and the standards of excellence in your own dance. The quality of instruction your faculty provides us, under your direction, is stellar. There is a family in this community you created and I am so happy to be a part of it! Thanks again for who you are and all you do for us!

A shy performer

Thank you for the wonderful show on Saturday and for allowing me to be a part of it all! I feel very special and putting my picture on the program means more to me than I can say to you without getting all choked up. Through the hard work and stress, all said and done, it would not have happened without you. I just wanted you to know that you are appreciated.

Tamara (Age 36)

I’ve been taking classes with another instructor for quite some time before I moved to Naperville. I’m soooo glad I found you. You’ve obviously been training with some of the best in the world and it shows. I can’t wait to attend on of your shows. See ya Sunday …

Dana (Age 32)

I feel the caliber of instruction I have received from Raksanna and her faculty is far superior to anything I have received anywhere else and that Raksanna’s community of dancers has really helped me grow as a person and improve myself as a dancer

Allison (Age 28)

I just started taking belly dance classes with Raksanna. She makes me feel beautiful, vibrant and alive! I’ve lost more than 3 inches since starting 6 weeks ago and I’m actually beginning to like a dancer – who would have thought that 😁

Yasar

I attended your production, Confessions of a Belly Dancer, and I had to comment on the Zaar performance. I’m Egyptian and the quality of that piece was simply amazing. You captured the meaning of the Zaar. After we spoke, it became obvious that your willingness and desire to bring the richness of the culture forward meant everything to you. Great job to you and your performers – the show was incredible.

Pam (Age 51)

My daughter and I recently started taking classes with Raksanna. My daughter, 22 years old, is having a blast and so am I. Let’s just say that making dinner at the house has lots of “shimmy”. If you’ve never taken a belly dance class, OMG, you should, great workout and it makes you just feel good.

Elaine (Age 72)

Raksanna – you have done so much to make the lady know that life to too short not to do the things that can make a difference. I’ve been taking classes with you now for about a year and I’m having so much fun. You and your instructors have been so welcoming and caring (while not pampered me – thank you). What a great place to be and I’ll be dancing with you forever.

Kimberly (Age 38)

Raksanna’s down-to-earth approach, her beautiful choreography and her fun way of teaching truly inspires me. She celebrates Belly Dance with dignity and grace and sets herself apart from others because she is truly an artist … and a fabulous dancer

Claire (Age 35)

Wow, fun and challenging all at the same time. I like what you said about giving yourself permission to learn … we spend so much time rushing and so little time on us. Can’t wait for next session to start !!

Carol (Age 47)

I never dreamed I’d find such a great community of people to dance with. Raksanna, you and your group is simply amazing. So welcoming of my two left feet (I’ll get there). For anyone reading this, if you want to both challenge yourself and have fun doing it … come take a class
