Beautiful words from my beautiful student....
From C.R. Diehl “Hi There. I finally have a moment to write back to you. I must say reading the first note you wrote was a very nostalgic experience for me. We certainly had a very special connection and you played an immensely important and vital role in a period of great transformation for me. I used to call you my "Mother of Dance". But, really you were much more than that. I'm not sure I ever shared this with you. Your classes and presence helped to open the gates of my femininity, and grace - self love and confidence - as well as the gates of magic and interpretation of the unseen through expressive movement. The memory of classes in your home, especially the circle at the end and dancing for one another expressing a thought or a word on an angel card or an emotion, element or whatever was the impetus to becoming a medium of emotion through movement. Translating the music as a vehicle to express a much deeper and divine message, expression or pure loving and healing life force energy. When I was a dancer - a performing dancer - that emotional expressiveness is an element that moved audiences more than the movement itself. To this day, some of my peers from that period of time (who have become quite famous) tell me how I inspired their expressiveness an use me as a reference when they teach their workshops. That spark and emotion they are talking about came from and through you and your classes. Not to mention the veil - which was my most sacred partner and love in movement. I dream of coming and taking veil classes with you again I treasure our time together and Africa - I remember the air like 3 dimensional silk caressing my entire being. Those were days of great magic, and mystic journey for me - and you played a vital and vibrant role. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I have a feeling we were probably dancing together in a previous life and perhaps we will again! Just thinking about those days awakens that spark within.” To read more Testimonials click HERE! |
