Testimonials
Tamika (Age 43)
Your last workshop was AWESOME! I’ve been dancing for several years and you helped me solve some challenges I’ve had with make two movements look fluid. Thank you sooooo much. It was well worth the time to travel out to the suburbs of Chicago to attend this.

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.
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 😁
Tammy (Age 37)
Just attended my first session for Raksanna’s belly dance classes and had sooooo much fun. Getting some of the movements down took some practice and patience (with a few new sore muscles) but I got them down. Yea me :-) …
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
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.
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
Tammy (Age 25)
Took one of your classes and I had so much fun. I’m hooked, see you next week …
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.
Karen (Age 42)
Muscles sore where I forgot I had muscles. Great workout while learning a beautiful dance. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated the help on those tricky moves (actually not so tricky now). I’m thinking about getting involved with the dance troupe … so much fun …

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.
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!
