'When you danced to Samadhi, my heart nearly stopped.'
- Charlie, musician
'Your performance was awesome..u r so talented..Everyone just raved about the dancing..Also thank you for the Serbian National anthem..That was such a terrific surprise!!!'
- 2011 performance at a birthday (Serbian client)
'I was moved almost to tears by your veil dance.'
- Mariza, dancer
We hope that hearts do not actually stop, and the tears don't quite fall- both those comments were inspired by the very inspiring song, Samadhi, an original by the local band DragonSong, www.myspace.com/dragonsongband

'I truly enjoyed your class. I think you are an excellent teacher. You are able to provide detailed instruction, yet can go with the flow when the veil does what it wants to and not what you intended. You are patient and fun.' - Marty
'My favorite thing about your veil course was your enthusiasm. You are a great teacher and so willing to share your wealth of information.
I especially liked learning a new move - the 5 star.
I would highly recommend your class to a friend.
'- Donna
