Bellydancing with Vicki has been an amazing experience for me, and I have really enjoyed the last few years as one of her founding students, since Feb 2008 and I'm still dancing with her today. Vicki is a patient and friendly teacher, and makes every class fun and inspiring. My fitness level has greatly improved, and dancing with Vicki is an enjoyable workout in itself. A combo of energetic cardio and slower stretching routines is all done to upbeat Middle Eastern or lively bollywood music. Vicki is also a very talented seamstress and will help with costuming and accessories at very little cost. Her annual shows are always a stunning showcase of her creative abilities. I have performed in some of these extravaganza's and they never fail to delight the audience. Vicki has given me the confidence boost I needed to put myself out there and just enjoy the moment!

Vicki has taught me for about 4-5 years both bellydance and bollywood. I enjoy learning the new techniques and trying to master the new choreographies, it does take me a while as my memory is not what it used to be (I am 68), but with a bit of a push, I can do it - yeah! Vicki has patience and our classes being so varied, keeps our interest. I enjoy the movement of my body in space and know that my body can move to the music. I think Bellydance and bollywood contributes to my general health, well being, joy, suppleness of joints & muscles, and memory stimulus.

I have been dancing at Vicki's classes since 2009/2010. I live in NZ for 5 months of the year and really look forward to coming back to dance with Vicki each year. Bellydance is a good means of gaining physical fitness for all ages. It improves co-ordination and posture and self confidence and keeps the mind alert. It is a good way of making new friends and a great social activity. Vicki helps me with the costumes I may need, if I am here to dance in any of her shows. She has patience with her students, and is a talented dancing teacher. The Bollywood dances we do are lively and fun and each class is varied, moving parts of the body that do not get used in some other forms of dancing. For me one of the good things about Bellydance is that you do not need a dancing partner.

This lovely photo was taken by Vicki herself whilst visiting Barbara in her home town in Someset, UK, June 2013, where Barbara hosted a magnificent Middle Eastern themed party at her home. Both Barbara & Vicki performed for the guests & everyone had a thoroughly magnificent evening! Thank you Barbara !!!!!
