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 !!

My family attended the Hip’s Don’t Die Murder Mystery yesterday and had an absolute blast. Dancers were great, food was great, and holding the show in the afternoon left the rest of the day open. Couldn’t be happier …

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 :-) …

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.

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.

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 …

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

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.

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 …

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 😁

I‘ve taken belly dance classes with other instructors before and learned more with Raksanna in the first half hour than in seven weeks with others. Why go anywhere else? I deserve the best!

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!
