Thank you for fantastic performance on my 50th birthday party! It was an absolute pleasure to watch such grace, passion and beauty mixed with fantastic music and dance moves. Even today my birthday crowd talks about the sword balancing act!
Dragan
Wow…Rahel…I knew I had chosen the right dancer for our celebration but had no idea that it would be even better than imagined! Everyone was amazed…our son’s friends had never seen a performance like that and by the looks on their faces…they were enthralled! Your modern take on the belly dance is refreshing and everyone had that comment. Thank you again for making our celebration even more memorable!
Ines
It has been a privilege working with Rahel on our world fusion dance projects. She is incredibly talented, reliable, professional and takes the bellydance art-form to a whole new level. We’ve especially loved the choreographies she has brought on board with her talented troupe of students. Looking forward to the next big production!
