My Testimonials

November 19, 2008
Helen! The best belly dance workshop sponsor... EVAH!

Helen knows how to put on a good workshop right down to the details...

Need to know what's going on? You'll get detailed registration forms and communication.

Need a little pick me up at the workshop? Chilled water with cups and proper snacks to keep a dancer going are always available.

Instructors? INSTRUCTORS! Helen personally checks out all the instructors before bringing them here to Seattle! Just check her profile to see the list of who's-who she's brought to the Pacific Northwest.

Helenwheels does it right. She keeps bringing them and bringing them back to Seattle.

Bless her heart for the sacrifices, time, and hard work she's endured to bring these hot instructors to the Seattle area just for us!

Helen! You RAK!!!

I can't thank Helen enough for being a pioneer in bringing tribal infusion belly dance to a whole new level in the Seattle area. The valuable workshops/shows that she has sponsored with dancers such as, Sharon Kihara, Ultra Gypsy, Mardi Love and Zoe Jakes have all been run with such professionalism and have graced Seattle with some of the best in the biz. Helen prides herself in setting her workshops apart from most by asking guest dancers to teach specific types of workshops (catering to what the BD community is looking for/needs) and always runs things with so much integrity. Thank you Helen for being the shining star you are and of course - for always providing the yummy chocolates and bananas at the workshops. You rock!

Helen is a good friend of mine and I must say that she rocks!

She is courteous, kind, caring and she has mastered the art of the elusive veil. (And make sure you buy one from her).

I am glad to know such a wonderful, fire haired human being.

ROSE HARDEN in Seattle November 15, 2008!

"A Rose by any other name than Harden would not be as sweet. I don't know many other dancers I can describe as solid and tough while soft and feminine at the same time. Rose just has that rock-solid old-school foundation of craft while still being able to emote ever changing and emerging styles. I wish I knew her secret - she is a true pioneer." -- Surreyya, The Gilded Serpent
