Belly Dancing by Charlotte

Some interesting comments from few Jewel students, especially shared with you!

Thank you for an fabulous evening.
I now know with absolute certainty that I want to continue my belly dancing classes. Watching you and the other ladies dance really inspired me - I was totally blown away! ... B
"My Egypt trip was an awesome experience and I am so glad I went. I got to know my fellow jewels on a more personal level and that has brought as much closer together. As for what I learnt in terms of belly dancing moves .... all I can say is that MAN I AM PROUD TO BE JEWEL!!! Thank you Mom Jewel". T
"It was really inspiring to see you dance at the hafla and I so excited to want to join your studio" ... QM
"I attended a class with you in Johannesburg, and enjoyed it thoroughly. You have got what it takes. You are simply the best. I also saw you dance in Kempton Prdk some 9 years ago, and thought you are beautiful, and you dance beautifully." ... Regards A-M.
"I loooooved da class on sat!!! You do give new meaning to the song titles 'killing me softly' & 'Murder on the dance floor' - just kidding!!! I like the way you teach!!! " ... I
"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
“There is belly at my gym here in A D but no teacher compares to you - I still miss our classes in Rosebank in 2001 / 2002 . Seems like a life time ago. You take care.” ... A

Yes, yippeeee! Thank you for the feedback. I've sent mails to three schools that didn't even bother to answer. You're the most well know of all and you took the time to answer my mail.
I really appreciate it. ... AD

The class was excellent, especially because all the girls get on well with each other and because U are an excellent teacher. I have no regrets about joining ... SV
Wild horses won't stop me !! I am in!!! It was awesome and I want to continue....thanks ... L

The first lesson was very difficult for me, especially since I am the most unflexible person on earth..but the second seems to be getting better.I seem more confident about coming in for my lessons and I am looking very forward to all those more to come. ... SA

Hmmm..... you are becoming quite the celebrity! Well done! You deserve it. And in answer to your question in class re "Have I not taught these girls anything!". Take a bow Charlotte coz me in a beautiful sequined bra was something that would never happen before I joined belly! You're amazing...thanks! ... GP

It’s so nice to be back! I felt my serotonin levels soaring again last night ... A

“thank you for YOU as our mentor – I appreciate you!” L

“the class this morning was brilliant thank you.” D

“A friend told me about Charlotte’s belly classes and I thought they would be an interesting distraction. In fact all my expectations were exceeded and it became a place where I learned new things about myself and moved further beyond my comfort zones in each lesson. I learned to move my body in new ways and to feel a deeper connection to myself. It was also great to meet and interact with women from all backgrounds and walks of life. Charlotte is a 5 star dancer and great to learn from!” DC

“Wiggle your worries away!” AN
“Desire to inspire twist to smile making the impossible a possibility. Finally finding that dream pair of shoes I thought I could never have – dancing shoes eyes with glitter, eyes with light,… moves with wiggle, moves with might: My delight, o so right “ YDP
“Belly dancing with the Jewels has released the sparkle in my soul!” LT
“Releasing the goddess inside Creating a universe of divinity (or for divinity) Release spirit and mind beyond dreams“ Anonymous Jewel
“Freeing my spirit through movement and dance… " LS
“Not for the faint hearted or sensitive soul - it challenges you in many ways - both physically and emotionally” FP
“My experience as a jewel: ... that the total experience of learning how to dance cannot adequately be encapsulated in a simple slogan. While the visual aspect is one of beauty, sensuality, intrigue and fascination, the experience of learning and being a student again challenges you in countless ways. The effects on your 'profile' are both physical and non-physical. You cannot be the same person again... “VW
And from Mom Jewel to every goddess dancer and all the Jewels … I intend for you to grow, in the best possible way I know how…no – one taught me how to teach or how to grasp the depths that each move and student bring together as they embrace new awareness and knowledge … It truly has just evolved out of 10 years of research, commitment and passion with phenomenal blessed success! This now just happens so naturally in a way that truly honours my own integrity and intention for each Jewel student, both in the art and in the cohesion of body and mind to honour each of you, your soul and your journey. Thank you for taking time to read and share your experiences! A special salute to each goddess… keep smiling and glittering… it’s contagious!
