"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 Moynan and Kate Paker, 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 Ryan, 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
