Aziyade is my Teacher/Mentor. She is the most phenomenal dancer and teacher. She is so entertaining to watch and makes you feel like a part of her performance. Her technique is awesome. I am so enamored with her and especially when I watch her dance. She is such an amazing person and is as beautiful on the inside as she is outside. I have always wanted to become a professional bellydancer since I was a little girl. With Aziyade at my side, I know my dream will come true. It took until I was 35 years old to start my dream but I feel that is because it was meant for Aziyade to be my teacher. I am her biggest fan. Now, my ultimate dream is to perform with her someday and make her smile as much as she makes me!

Aziyade is one of the friendliest, most dance passionate people I know. She is never swayed by ego, selfishness, or negativity. Her dancing is exquisite and she displays a playful personality on stage that I can never hope to achieve. She studies MED with fervor and is always there to answer my obscure questions or listen to my nonsensical rants!
