See what our students have to say about School of Raq!
"I have been to my fair share of dance classes but have never enjoyed myself or believed in myself as much as I did at School of Raq. You are a wonderful teacher, and I am so glad you pushed me to do so much more than I ever thought I could. -Tariqa
"Thanks for bringing dance into my life! You are a treasure." -Pam
"I love taking classes at School of Raq! The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, the classes are fun yet challenging, and I always leave with a smile on my face!" -Amanda
"The classes are sufficiently challenging and provide numerous opportunities for improvement in technique. All the instructors are professional, supportive and develop an atmosphere of camaraderie in their classes." -Aura
" My instructors are good teachers,dancers, and loaded with lots of patience. It definitely helps me to have choreography notes to help me learn, as well as the video. The choreographies have been challenging,but because of that my dance has definitely improved this year. Thanks! -Linda
"I love Nada - she is one of the very nicest people I've ever met. Her classes are fun and upbeat. She provides great instruction and her classes are never boring."
"I love SoR all the way round :) " -Manda
"I really enjoy the classes. Friendly instructors, great information and sexy costumes." -Connie
"I feel like School of Raq is my second home. It's such a welcoming and beautiful atmosphere and all the instructors offer something different but equally valuable. Every class I've taken has been enriching and fun at the same time!" -Kerry
"From being shamed out of a dance studio as a teenager to belly dancing for an audience at School of Raq's recitals I've come a long way. I have learned a new sense of inner confidence, strength, and determination. I will never be the most graceful dancer but I will love every second of it because belly dancing has showed me that teaching your body to do something you didn't think it could also teaches you to love your body. Jodi is one of the most patient and encouraging instructors I've ever had as well as persistent and motivating. I love belly dance, I love School of Raq, I love all the lovely ladies I've got to meet through the supportive community. Thank you, all!" -Sylvia
I really enjoyed your class (again) and appreciate your passion and hard work. You are such a good teacher and you deserve to be recognized! Your sense of humor sure helps! I have really come out of my shell and credit this class as a reason.
And furthermore, the performance experience was incredible. It was great to see all those women together and others enjoying the art. Watching you dance was an honor. You inspire me and so many others. -Sara
