My Testimonials

April 16, 2006
Gia is one of the most wonderful women I have ever had the honor of knowing. She has an amazing aura of joy and light ; which shimmers and sparkles around her. To see her dance is to be swept away into a world of artistic passion; into a mesmerizing swirl and dance of grace and glowing colors....and transported into a place that envelopes you in etherial beauty and bliss.

Gia's presence alone is positive and contagious and very addictive to be around. I had the honor of having her as my first belly dance teacher. Words cannot say all she has done for me; not only is she a patient, professional and fantastic teacher ; but she is also a wise, loyal friend. She changed my life. If you're wanting to see a dancer that will take your breath away and leave you eager for more; you're dreaming of Gia.
