"Outstanding workshop! I received as much new instruction in each half day session as I would in a 2 day event. Žana is a gifted instructor as well as a knowledgeable and sharing dancer. I will definitely attend her workshops again. Come back soon!" Stephanie, workshop participant, North Carolina, USA

 

"I had my first Skype lesson on Khaleegy and I so enjoyed it! I learned the basic moves and I can't wait to learn more, this lesson was really useful for me. Žana tailored the lesson to my level of knowledge and taste (she even gave me great tips and ideas on costuming!) I would definitely recommend Žana's lessons to anybody!" Gisella, Italy-London

 

"I have been attending Žana's Monday evening class in Hampstead for approaching a year now.  The class is technique focused, fun and aerobic and my dancing has noticeably improved through the use of weekly drills and combinations. Žana is a lovely dancer and an inspiring and encouraging teacher for relative novices."

"I attended a Folkloric Basics workshop in Asheville taught by Žana. Her energy, grace, teaching style, and experience made the class fun and engaging! Žana offers a history of the dance origins while she incorporates the dance steps into the choreography. It was a very motivating workshop with a solid foundation of basic steps in Saidi, Shaabi, and Khaleegy that will be an exciting addition to any dancer's repertoire! I am super excited to introduce folkloric dances into my own choreographies. Žana's workshops are a must if you want to expand your dance knowledge!"

Angie M., workshop participant, Asheville, NC

 

"I really enjoyed meeting you. You are beautiful, sweet & delicate, you dance beautifully and the workshop was fantastic. You speak very clearly about the material and I will definitely use what we've learned.  For sure you are a new inspiration for me. Come back soon to Brazil!" - Luciana, workshop participant, Sao Paulo, Brazil

"I never get fed up of seeing Žana perform, as she's not only a very accomplished dancer, she's an absolute delight to watch."

Krystina, Professional Bellydancer & Teacher, London, UK

 

"I found the private lesson to be full of 'insider' tips and ways to practice. A wealth of information given at a suitable pace which made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.  As expected, Žana's professionalism as a performer is echoed in her teaching abilities, definitely on my recommended list."

​Natalie, Professional Bellydancer, UK

 

"I admit that I do attend a lot of workshops but I do have my favorites. Žana just made my favorite lists. Though the workshop was scheduled for 3 hours Žana was able to cover concisely the folkloric styles of Debke, Saidi, Khaleegy dance, and Iraqi Kawleeya. All these styles are important in the study of Raks Sharqi as the rhythm elements of these styles often show up in the music we dance to. I had a wonderful time and learned a lot!" - Francesca, FL
