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

Muscles Forgotten
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 …

Journey through Egypt
Just saw the Journey through Egypt show … the Oracle was AWESOME. What a great show and I loved all the dancers. The drummer was a hoot. I just joined the newsletter list and my wife also told me she’s going to start taking classes. We had SO much fun.
Claire (Age 35)
Permission to Learn
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 !!

Wonderful Show
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.

Taking other classes
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 …
Yasar
Zaar … Incredible
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.
Paul & Family
Hips Don’t Die Show – AWESOME
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 …

72 and Still Got It
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.
