My Testimonials

September 3, 2009
Tempest is awesome instructor and performer. I try to get to as many of her shows as possible. I took a two hour intensive with her and Aradia last November and I've been dying to take another one. I took the intensives with an injured wrist (wore a brace) and neck. And I still learned alot.
I've had several instructors, but Tempest is in a class by herself. She just that good.

I've taken several workshops with Tempest and I keep coming back for more. She is an imaginative and entertaining teacher whose workshops are both educational and entertaining, and she's excellent at coaxing even the most self-conscious participants to come out of their shells and express themselves through dance. In a world of too-serious belly dance divas, her humor and humility are a breath of fresh air.

If all the styles of belly dance could pick just one dancer to represent them. Tempest I give you the title: Queen of Gothic Belly Dance!

Tempest Rules my Universe! What can I say about a friend of the SQuishy, AKA Smushington-poo-pie.Her presence as a dancer and Creatrix is deeply missed here in CA.
Tempest is a part of the intensely creative Gemini artistic group that lies just under the surface of the Belly dance scene. and she is a person with much integrity and remains open to share her talents with others

I will stick to my orginal thoughts to and about her...

"well... don't know you from adam... and I've never see you dance in person, which is a damn crying shame. ... but every time you write a little blog and post pictures you always move me.

I think you are such an amazing dancer and you inspire me tremendously not just technically but to be able to emote the soul as well as you do. Stunning and emotional all at the same time, in force and on a soft side and I think that's amazing. "

I have since met her and seen her dance... and I can say she is all those things and more. Truly a blessing and an inspiration and long after she has moved on to bigger better things away from me, I will remember her and what an influence she has been and will be.

about me
I like shiny things. Geminis supposedly have a weakness for excessive adornment. I say, what's excessive really?

Being a part of the bellydance community for any length of time affects us in so many ways, many below the surface that can influence how we look and feel about ourselves and others. In this dynamic and unusual workshop, we will explore through exercises and movement... read more
