Thanks Brenda, I needed this reminder. I really hate my body and my looks, but I have to accept myself the way I am. It is hard when you have had other people (people you love) tell you you don't look good enough.

anyway, thanks! (Student July 12, 2010)

Dear Brenda and Staff,

Thank you for showing me such an enjoyable time today!  I felt so comfortable and in-tune to your class - even though I must have looked like a baby teradactile on a first flight (smile).  The music and the atmosphere were beautiful.  It was an spiritual experience.  Looking forward to next week!  Have a great weekend

Peace.

PS We  loved the protein drinks - will have to check with you about it

Brenda you have a beautiful spirit, and I hope to one day perform with you.

Hi Brenda,

I am doing well.  Thank you!!! 

Just want you to know that I think you are such a beautiful dancer.  Particularly, your arms are full of elegance and grace and I appreciate your classy, Egyptian style of dancing.  Just entirely beautiful!!! 

And I also want to tell you that I'm deeply touched by your comment and compliment.  That means a lot to me...that you have confidence in me.  One day, I do wish to perform with you all...very much so...dancing is my passion....and performing is my desire.  And it would be an honor for me to do so, no doubt!!!

In the inter rim I look forward to learning, learning, learning....getting back in shape, building muscle memory and building/owning confidence in me....  

Thank you for all you do, Brenda!

What you do and how you do it...is beautiful!!!!

Brenda,

You are an exceptional woman. It is obvious that your upbringing, culture and creativity has developed you into a beautiful human being. You did two things for me last night:

you reminded me of something wonderful in my past and you stroked my creative passion to start to dance again.

Brenda,

Thank you.  You know what I liked about last evening?  I liked how you had each of us touch something beautiful inside ourselves.  Good teachers teach beyond the subject material.  It's one thing to have a sweaty dance class on technique.  It's quite another to teach a women of all ages, shapes and sizes to embrace that which is lovely inside.  I was wondering if I was projecting this about your teaching style this morning, and then I read this.  Nope, I wasn't.  You are an excellent teacher.  Thank you!   Ritha (student)

Brenda,

Thank you for following up.  The performance was beyond expectations and very well received by all our guests.  Everyone told us they loved it.  I am pretty busy with travel over the next couple of weeks but when I get back I will see about the video.  We have not seen it yet.  If there is something you all would like to use I am OK with sending you a copy.  Check back with me in mid February.

Thanks,  Rex (Client)

Hello Ms. Brenda,

It's been a while since my daughter and I attended your class due to scheduling and financial issues, but we both miss you.  It was alot of fun and we plan on visiting again real soon.   Kai has a lot of interest in bellydancing and has had me purchase a belly dancing video, for her to keep up practice, however, it is nothing even close to your level of perfection.   So we will definetly be coming back to your class.  Please keep up the good work.

Hi Brenda,

That is so wonderful that you are dancing full time now!  That is a dream come true.  You are such a beautiful dancer....I'm sure you will be very successful. 

After I left San Antonio, I started teaching a bellydance class as you suggested.  I now have a troupe named "Soul Fire Sisters" located in Estacada, Oregon.

I want to thank you for being such an inspiration to me.  Your encouragement and support was so important.  Please keep in touch.  Take care.

HI Brenda!

Hey, very nice!  You are giving Shakira a run for her money!

You are quite good, and visuallly the effect of your long hair and arms and body undulating is quite beautiful.  I must say.  And could that setting be any more dramatic?  It looked a bit like an ancient outdoor temple or palace--how theatrical!

You are absolutely mahhhvelous dahhling, simply mahhhvelous.

Those first few seconds where you are alone in the twilight of the

stones and pillars of the Temple of Delphi, absolutley killlllllaaaa :-)

You deliciously swet and beautiful apparition, you!

Hi Brenda,

I've been taking occasional study breaks from my biochem test and practicing my 1,001 Nights routine you're teaching us.  I thought you'd enjoy seeing the notes I took in class--I'm with the group at the UT Health Science Center, and I usually wear a t-shirt and silly purple bike shorts.  My little French kitty can't quite figure out what I'm doing, she just stares at me and I have to go around her:)  By the way, my Mom had me take ballet classes as a litttle girl and I was so bad at it that the teacher wouldn't let me participate in half of the end -of- the-year class routine, so I'm overjoyed to finally be having fun dancing.  Thanks for everything.

Johanna

Hi Brenda,

What can I say!....I had a great time and YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!

 I definitely want to get to know you better... and hopefully we can do some things together musically.  Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I enjoyed you at the SA2SA Festival...we had great fun!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!  Please tell me if I can send a payment to your staff and where.  I was so surprise to see you but extremely happy! We really need to get together and do lunch or something.  Or come to New Braunfels and just visit.  You are a wonderful friend.

Thanks again for making my birthday so special!

"I love the fact that people of all ages come to Little Egypt & Co. for their workout & to learn the art of bellydancing. I'm almost fifty and I love to let people know (if they ask).  We should not feel ashamed to express our age!   People come here to 'Dance/work out & feel a sense of balance in their hectic lives"and have a good time. The atmosphere is very private & cozy. 

Thanks for all your support.
