It was such a pleasure to hear from you. I found you on YouTube as I was browsing for a Belly Dance workout and to learn the dance. I love your videos and this course is even better! The belly rolls, the shimmy, in fact all your videos. What stands out is how you explain the movements. You make it simply, very effective and easy to understand and enjoyable. I lost 3 inches around my waist and lost about 5 pounds in two weeks. I found my hips more open and flexibility in my joints. I live in Canada so I love that I could do this from anywhere in the world! Anna Rushmore.
I am very grateful to you for the classes. You saved my health (including mental) during the quarantine. Thank you VERY much. It was really great! I enjoyed this online course even more than I expected. I hope you have more courses soon! Maria
I’ve done a few courses now and they are amazing! And this is without even getting to experience them in person! Anita is a great choreographer and teacher and she is able to break down movements in a way that is easy to understand. The drills are perfect for the level you are at and I can learn technique at my own pace with a focus of practising rather than rushing. A big recommend! Delia Darius
