INSTRUCTION:
Here is what one student said after taking only one of Kaitlyn's classes...Kaitlyn,
I have to admit I was nervous about coming today. But you really inspired me during class! I came straight home and got on-line. I have had a void in my life for awhile now and THIS is what I was looking for. I miss expressing myself through dance and I am so excited to learn from you. You have such a passion for belly dancing, you can see it when you talk about it and when you dance. I have been learning a lot on-line too, I had no idea what a beautiful and sophisticated art form it was.
Thank you for offering this class, you rock!
Take Care,
-Melissa
