“I first hired Laura to perform at our Academy Awards party. Her beautiful dancing (complete with swords!) added an exotic, fun element that made the party memorable for everyone who attended.  After that wonderful experience, I hired Laura again to teach belly dancing for a ladies’ night out party. She took a group of slightly nervous women and had them laughing and dancing in just a few minutes. I received many compliments from my friends about what a great time they had and how impressed they were by Laura’s dancing and teaching ability. I’m looking forward to hiring Laura again, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.”
-Julie, student & client

“You were awesome and we enjoyed your performance… I will definitely keep you in mind for future events and can easily refer you.”
-Bruce, family reunion party

“Thank you so much!!  Everyone loved you guys… We have been getting so many compliments and the pictures are awesome.”
- Activity coordinator, retirement home performance

“Laura performed at a party of my friends who were all going to Egypt together.  When we got to Egypt we attended several performances of Belly Dancers and the overall opinion of our group was that Laura was by far a more accomplished and entertaining Belly Dancer.
As a student of Laura’s I have been very impressed with her knowledge and teaching methods.  She makes it so much fun that we hate when the class is over.”
-Jo, student & client

“Laura, I really enjoyed your classes at Centennial Commons. I found myself rushing to get done with work each week so I could get to each session on time. I was a little nervous to try belly dancing, since I am not very coordinated, but your class was relaxing and fun. You are a talented instructor with a great sense of humor. Thank you!”
-Rachel, student

“Thank you – the client was very happy with you…I will call you again the future.”
- Event coordinator, private party

“Laura, I just wanted to drop you a line, to let you know how much my daughters and I loved your class the other night.  We had a great time and everyone was so friendly.  We are looking forward to the class starting in November.”
-Lisa via email, Centennial Commons Class

“This year the Washington University Graduate Student Senate has focused on promoting wellness and relaxation through a variety of programs. Laura livened up our Health Fair by teaching belly dance techniques and showing us that exercise can be different and fun. We heard compliments from students for several weeks after the event.”
-Sarah and Kate, Graduate Student Senate Co-Presidents

“Laura introduced me to the fun and benefits of Belly Dance through her class at Wellbridge Athletic Club. I thought it would just be a fun new way to exercise, she made it so much more. Now I am addicted. I have since taken many dance classes, but Laura’s will always be my favorite – what better thing then to combine a great workout with something sooOOO FUN!”
-DesChene, Wellbridge athletic club

“Laura’s performance at our harvest festival was a real crowd pleaser. And her belly dancing lessons were a big hit with the kids. We are definitely planning on asking her to perform again this year.”
-Jenny, Tower Grove Farmer’s Market

“A friend talked me into taking Laura’s belly dancing class, and I thought I’d last a few classes at the most-me, a 52 year old woman, belly dancing! But here I am, 6 months later, still taking classes with Laura and loving it. It’s actually fun and great exercise. Laura creates a very comfortable environment that makes EVERYONE, no matter what size, shape age or level of fitness, feel like she too can learn to belly dance. In a relaxed and encouraging manner she starts with the basics and gradually builds on our knowledge base. One of the amazing and ego-gratifying aspect is gradually gaining more control over my body and realizing I can do movements that I never thought possible!”
-Kay, Centennial Commons Belly Dance class

“I hired Laura to give a group of women (of varied ages!) a belly dancing lesson and tutorial in my friend’s living room. Learning not only the dance moves, but the culture of the dance, really enhanced a bachelorette weekend I’d planned. She provided us instruction to our needs, personal attention to our delight and left us with a copy of the music to practice. We could even purchase the hip scarves should we choose – the whole afternoon was a blast! The women had a wonderful time and nothing but positive things to say about the experience. (And the pictures will last a lifetime.) Thanks for doing what you do – it was enchanting.”
-Amy, Bachelorette Party
