I love Souzana! She was my first Middle Eastern dance instructor, and it was devastating when she moved. I really enjoyed her teaching style and the fun and energy classes were infused with, and the choreographies were always great fun. It was amazing how much confidence and appreciation for my body I gained through her classes, I felt like I discovered a new person! Souzana is a warm but watchful instructor who is truly happy to share her gifts with her students. She'll instill not just solid technique, but a love of the art, and an appreciation for the rich and varied history of the dance, as well. The Fairbanks dance community just isn't the same without her.

A graceful and beautiful dancer. I so enjoy learning from her, she brings years of experience and technique to her classes!!!

I have to write about this amazing woman and teacher! if I had to rate Raks Souzana, I would give her a 5 out of 5 - I danced with her as a student and also as a troupe member and her patience, creativity and dedication to the art of Middle Eastern Dance is beyond any words I could put on this page. She also has taught a children's class & my daughter danced with her for a few years and LOVES & misses her Ms. Souzana! Anyone who dances with the woman is never the same.

Souzana was my first teacher that introduced me into the world of Belly Dance. I went with a friend to an open house and wanted to see if I would like to take a few classes. The first class I showed up, but my friend did not. I stayed and was immediately hooked. It was something of a challenge for me and a new experience. Getting ready for performances and being on stage in front of people was completely out of my comfort zone. As a teacher she helped me to over come my fears and to find a part of myself that I did not know that I had. Even when she pushed us it was because she had faith in us as a class and was able to bring out the best in us... as people and as dancers. I have had some life changing experiences and would not trade them for the world. Souzana was not only a Wonderful Teacher, she became a treasured friend. And I am a better person for knowing her. I highly recommend if anyone gets a chance to take classes from her to do so. Some dancers can dance beautifully, but they can't teach. Fortunately with her is a package deal. She is a very Genuine Person, a Remarkable Dancer and an Amazing Teacher. You just follow the "Bouncing Booty!". She is loved and missed very much, the North Star does not shine as bright as could since she left. I wish her all the best!

Souzana’s vast knowledge and warm teaching style have been invaluable in my dance training. Her classes are friendly to all shapes, sizes, and ages. She really does offer something for everyone whether you’re an experienced dancer looking to hone your technique or a complete beginner. If you’re looking for a varied Middle Eastern dance education Souzana is the teacher for you!

Souzana was my belly dance teacher for several years! She is wonderfully creative!! Wish she was still in Alaska! Miss you, my belly mama!
