Bellydancers and Goddesses......................................

Let me testify that this woman's hips move so....fast, they create a blur! I first had the opportunity to study with this dancer two years ago at BOCA Fest. Now, I'm fortunate to have her present at Freya's BellySpa. Whether it's on the West coast, East coast or in between don't miss a chance to learn from an authentic African Tribal Bellydancer.

First of all, I must say, what a gracious, and beautiful hostess Somra is. My stay at her home was like a whirlwind of activity EVERY DAY!!! :-D Somra has endless, and I DO MEAN ENDLESS energy!!!!. Her North and West African moves are straight from the source. You get the treasure of learning a History lesson along with her dance steps. She is Magnificent!!!
I cannot wait til she comes out to California to visit us.
I honor her, and thank her for her support.

When Somra is on stage, she is pure radiance in motion!! There isn't the slightest doubt that she's having the time of her life as she lights up the dance floor.

As a person, she is one of the most generous I've ever met. She never fails to amaze me with her generosity and patience.

What I love most about Somra is the fact she remains very sweet. And she giggles!! OMG, does that pull at my heart strings! She reminds me so much of an aunt I love so dearly.

I am indeed honored to be one of Somra's students.

With deepest gratitude,

Ve : )
