"Thank you to my new belly dancing buddy Jill! She's such a loving patient and kind instructor"


"What started as a fun diversion has turned into a personal journey. My mind and body have been profoundly bent in ways that are challenging and rewarding. Jill’s approach is laid back but professional and focused. She is a patient teacher who recognizes her students’ strengths encouraging them to rise to new challenges. Jill takes care of our bodies by ensuring we learn proper technique to avoid injury and incorporates conditioning into her classes. I am forever grateful to Jill for being such an amazing teacher."


"Jill is an energetic and happy teacher. It is awesome the way she describes the steps in words and talks about correct posture how to protect our joints as well as the history and cultural context of Raqs Sharki"
