She is such a great instructor! Very clear on breaking down both movements and choreography. Choreographies are always fun, interesting and a challenge. Don't miss your chance to study with this AMAZING dancer!

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 is an excellent and knowledgeable teacher: she can teach traditional Middle Eastern Folk dances to more contemporary American belly dance styles. With a variety of classes to choose from, you can find one at your level easily: from beginner to advanced. If you want performance opportunities, she offers a troupe class as well. Her choreographies are fun and challenging for the dancers and spectacular and fun for the audience. Souzana is a fun teacher and I really enjoy her personality and style. She is also a professional dancer who has studied with all the "greats." So if you are looking to take a beginning class or a more advanced class to learn some new things, look no further. Souzana has something for every dancer. You will learn a lot, get some exercise, meet new friends, and have fun!

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!

There are honestly not enough words in the English dictionary for me to use to profess my utter adoration of Souzana. She not only has taught me amazing technique (and awesome mini history lessons), but kept my passion for dance alive with her own enthusiasm and love for dance. I can not express how much I miss her and am saddened by the fact I can't take classes with her. But, I'm happy that other people are given the chance to take her well delivered classes. She is an extremely caring teacher and truly teaches from her heart.
