Testimonials
"I always loved belly dancing. It might be that drop of Turkish blood in me. Years ago, when I was healing my back from the car accident, belly dancing kept the energy flowing into not just the injured parts but it made my whole body/spirit happier and more connected. I met Birnur recently at my friend's "Snow Day Winter Goddess Party". Birnur danced for us, a small group of women, and then, in no time she had us all dancing with the jingle-belts wrapped around our hips. She inspires creativity, self-esteem, sensuality, and is filled with shakti, pure feminine expression of divine energy.
While she is getting her own space ready, I invited her to teach belly dancing in our studio. And since there is full moon this coming Wednesday, we thought that's an auspicious date to begin something new.
Hope to dance with you soon,
Petrina"
Sensuality is an integral part of any woman’s well being, confidence and beauty.
"There is something wonderful that happens when you belly dance. In Japan, they call it "Satori" – that Zen state, that zone, where your body is flowing, but your mind is quit. It's like a flower that opens, like a black-and-white photo that all of a sudden is color." Amy Anthony (Knight Ridder Newspaper by Kate Santich)
