Testimonials:

"I am enjoying your classes. They are a challenge for me... The posture, the co-ordination, the precise purposeful movements, all together are a lot to think about.... But I love a challenge... And you always include something simple enough so that I can feel small victories of "oh ok! I got that part!" - Kim L. (student)

"Thank you for visiting to Tokyo to teach us Yasmine! After I took your class, I feel I could understand bellydance more deeply. Your movement really shake my feelings! And I feel I want to dance like you some day.I learn bellydance 9 years in JAPAN.Sometimes I went to Egypt, Turkey,etc..to study bellydance
BUT Nobody have taught like you and Souhail! Really amazing experience! Please remain a beautiful bellydancer and a great teacher."- Hiromi (Tokyo, Japan)

"I really enjoyed your classes at Southern Fusion Fest 2007!  Your technique, teaching skills, performance skills, personality--everything--you are a fantastic teacher and you are how I aspire to teach! You are a dancer’s dancer because you are also equally a phenomenal performer" -Gina (Georgia)

“My class (at Tribal Quest Northwest 2007) with Yasmine (ex-BDSS) was “Magic Hips and Twists.” Although not ‘strictly tribal,’ she was aware of tribal style and looked to explain moves and drills so that they could be adapted to tribal style if desired. Her teaching style and lovely southern drawl made her an enchanting teacher and her mantra “Be Bold, Be Beautiful, Be a Bellydancer” stuck in my mind.”-Deidre (Scotland/UK)

"Thanks Yasmine for donating your time this year for Shimmy-A-Thon 2007 and for filling in last minute & teaching on Saturday as well as an excellent workshop on Sunday. You did an AMAZING job.  Everyone enjoyed your classes, and they are still talking about it today." –Nissa Amira, Founder of Shimmy-A-thon

"I just wanted to say thank you again for two amazing classes at Southern Fusion Fest. I absolutely loved them both and also got an amazing workout. I can tell that you really enjoy teaching – you engage the students, are so down to earth and hilarious and generous with your time. Your classes were a great mix of choreography and drills that kept me completely engaged and feeling challenged. Thank you again – you are a wonderful teacher and incredible performer. You brought the house down with that drum Solo." -Mari (Georgia)

"I love your ethereal and yet dynamite style!" -Jeanna (Tennessee)

"Your workshop was awesome and I loved your performance at the Shimmyathon! I really liked how organized you were with choreography notes, your video, and having the music available for us after the workshop! Best of all, we got to actually see you perform the dance you taught us and your performance was so amazing! I really feel like I'll be able to practice and do the drum solo you taught us." -Cynthia (Georgia)
