Testimonials of Students

We like Belly Dancing because it’s fun and also because the teacher is wonderful. It’s not just dancing for fun: it helps us keep fit & healthy and it’s also good for our beauty. We heard in Japan, Belly Dancing stimulates female hormones. Since then, we’ve wanted to learn and when I came here to Malaysia, I found out Sophia offers this class, so we enrolled right away!

We know we are not the type to go for fitness classes because other fitness exercises are too strenuous, but Belly Dancing is a dance. So, we find it more fun and can continue this class long-term. It’s an exercise that refreshes us and helps us release our stress. We find it very satisfactory to come for class because we are improving and mastering our techniques each time and learning new sensual moves.

We would definitely recommend this class to all the women. They can be in-touch with their feminine self which is natural and beautiful; and this can give women more self-esteem in themselves. It’s not a difficult or a complicated dance like Tango or Ballroom. This is a dance class anyone can try! It’s so fun!
