TESTIMONIALS

I was referred to Liz by Belly Dance Superstar, Sharon Kihara. Liz has a deep understanding of body mechanics, movement and an uncanny eye in seeing where you are stuck. Her classes helped me discover unused, subtle muscles as well as much needed stretching and relaxation. She has a way of making a difficult art form look easy and seamless. In attending her classes, I walked away with greater body awareness and an appreciation for soft, subtle movements.

"I am still having wonderful inner body experiences and I am happy to say, I do believe I have found my intercostals! How about that! I have been stretching, tuning into my body and putting on belly dance music and dancing around to the "feel" of the music. Truly, you have provided to me the missing link that I haven't learned from any other instructor. You have helped me solve the mystery of why my body never seemed to achieve what I wanted it to do. I would spend hours rehearsing but I knew that even if I did, I would be rehearsing wrong. I am so happy I have you as a mentor, teacher, and friend."

"As a breast cancer survivor, Elizabeth has helped me find body awareness, flexibility, comeradery, and given me joy in new discoveries. Elizabeth has provided the missing link I could never find with other instructors - emphasis on dance physiology. Through her extensive knowledge of dance anatomy, strength conditioning, and flexibility, she has opened my world to possibilities that I could not have imagined! I love the changes I feel and see with my body!"

Elizabeth's explanation of isolations is the most clearly articulated that I’ve heard!
I have been taking dance classes for fifty years, including, as a young woman, professional jazz and modern classes in NYC. I appreciate that Liz is realistic with the variety of goals, ages and ability levels amongst her students. She finds a middle range and then coaxes our edge. I also appreciate that Elisabeth draws from a broad international –historic tradition. Her work employs flamenco, modern, mid-eastern and a smattering of other dance forms. Often the warm-up is based in Yoga.

But most of all, classes with Elizabeth are fun!
Play is definitely in the mix!

You are the Best!! I've taken classes from several teachers and for me no one compares. Your expertise and ability to break down the movements into understandable pieces, has helped me to learn the right way to do the movements rather than build in mistakes that I continue to repeat. Besides getting my body to do movements I didn't know were possible, the biggest joy in being in your class, has been your sense of humor, laughter, and playfulness that makes the learning fun and enjoyable.
