COMMENTS FROM SOME OF OUR STUDENTS

"Charlotte, watching you dance at the Hafla was a real treat.  I have never watched you perform, other than in class – which is generally at our pace. 

I have always been fascinated by the art of Belly dancing, and have seen performances in shows and restaurants, both locally and in London. 

I must say that your performance is by far the best I have seen.  Your entire being responds to the music in a way I have never seen before.  It’s as if you are dancing with your soul, which is totally captivating for the audience. 

Needless to say, I was totally mesmerized by your performance.  You are a true inspiration for your students." .... G
