Testimonials:
'I came along to my first class in October 2003 and I was immediately hooked and stunned by the way Katie danced. When she explained the moves and broke them down it was so easy to understand and do. I love her unique style of dancing and teaching. She has inspired me in so many ways, in my dance and in my life, I am much more of a confident woman. She has encouraged me a lot as I started my own classes and I encourage all my students to do all of her workshops whenever they possibly can'.
Jane Brooker, UK. Feb 2009.
'As a bellydancing beginner, I studied with Katie for one week, for four hours a day. Katie was incredibly thorough and meticulous in her teaching, as well as encouraging and kind. I came away from my week of dancing feeling very enthusiastic and as if I had been given all the skills to go on and continue learning. Katie is truly inspiring as a teacher; not only is she a beautiful and graceful dancer, she is also very knowledgeable about all aspects of the dance, from the rich history behind bellydancing, to the various kinds of rhythms and beats.
The setting in Goa was wonderful; it was so amazing to swim in the sea or just chill on the beach after several hours of dancing. I really enjoyed my stay and my dance lessons and hope to return again in the near future!'
Annie Bumgarner, America/Korea. Feb 2009
'Katie is such an excellent teacher and I have really enjoyed and benefitted from her classes. She explains and demonstrates in a way that is easily understood and ensures you can follow this before pushing you out of your comfort zone, thereby continually improving. Her skills and ability as a dancer make her classes fun and suitable for all levels.'
