This is so needed in the world today. Kathreen, it has been an honor to be a part of this dance with you. I know that, without your guidance through this dance, I would not be the person I am today. I am confident, beautiful, playful and more. And now, I get to share it with others. Yes, Life is wonderful. Thank you.

Ok, who is a costume addict? Both my hands are raised. Don’t you just love the costuming, makeup, and jewelry? I never sewed until I started bellydancing. So many things changed for me with this dance…new friends, sewing, costuming, etc… I love to take different and unusual things and layer them. The more the better!

Love,

Kathreen,
I love this blog! Leave it to you to be instrumental in advancing the education about this most incredible dance.

Little did I know when I walked into your studio that you would change my life. I came to you for health reasons, you won’t get a better or more fun workout anywhere. But I came away with a better understanding of my body, myself, and a culture that I knew little about.

This dance has taken me across the country, and also across the ocean to Egypt—where I got to experience first hand the “true dance”, done in the home. My heart is in Egypt still, with my new Egyptian family (once invited into the home, you are family), in the ancient temples of the Nile, and perhaps in a few costume shops at the Khan al Khalili bazaar.

All I can say to you is shukran, shukran, thank you!

Enchallah, I will see you, Brahim, and Hunter soon.

Many Blessings!

Even though we may not admit it, I believe most people love to perform. We sing in the car and dance with the vacuum cleaner and our pets. The love of music and dance is universal, and expressing ourselves and sharing it with others has so many benefits. For me, belly dancing is an excellent total body workout that I love and look forward to. Once I was comfortable with the movements, this form of dancing was such a freedom of expression that puts your mind and body in a comfort zone that is hard to describe. It is an activity that needs to be experienced. Its therapeutic values are limitless.

I feel in love with belly dance after my first lesson 7 years ago! My teacher and dear friend Kathreen brings such love, joy, and support to all that join her in dancing. It is a true celebration of women and it doesn’t matter your age or size it’s about celebrating each other in such a positive light. Along with that you get the benefit of changes in the body that I have never experienced from any other exercise and it is such fun!

Love to all,

Patricia

It is so wonderful to have a bellydance blog and who better to start this than our very own lovely Bellydance Goddess, Kathreen. Kathreen has been such an inspiration to me over the last year and continues to give me guidance even long distance!

I am really excited to meet others with similar interests and to share thoughts and ideas particularly about costumes!

lalalalalalalalalalala – that is supposed to be the belly dance call for – I like this!

Thanks!
