Press & Testimonials

Here's what people are saying about my shimmying. Have comments or pictures to share from one of my shows? I'd love to see them!

"Thanks so much for playing at this weekend's craft fair. The bellydancing was a great addition to the event and I think everyone loved the performance."
     -Lauren, 3rd Ward
"Najla did an amazing job at the surprise birthday party! Her energy and skill really put on a great show. Also, she put the audience in such a good mood, it helped me finish off my set with a bang!"
     -Peter Nictas, aka DJ Nixtas, djnixtas.com
"For a while, I stopped wanting to dance because I had a bad time with a different teacher. I decided to give her class a chance to see if I really had no more passion for dancing. After the class, I was so glad that I went and realized that I still wanted to dance. She made me love dancing again. She's knowledgeable with technique and origin and she watches to make sure you're doing it right. She gives you attention if you need it. She'll stop the class to make sure you get it. She wants you to ask questions and understand what's going on. Bottom line, I think Najla is great and I plan to continue to take her class."
