Testimonial from 2003: “I would like to thank you for putting
on the Bellydancer U.S.A. competition, because I learned some
of the most important tips over this weekend.   I was so
unprepared for what I was about to find at this event.   I was
surprised to find, and meet, some of the nicest women
i have ever met.  I was half expecting to find some over
inflated egos, and attitudes, but I was really shocked when
I didn’t run into that at all. This is my first experience at
a competition, ever.  I wanted to say, I felt very welcome, and
almost like a part of a sisterhood, all of the dancers backstage,
cheered each other on, and were so kind and encouraging to one
another.  I think every one was a winner for that reason. 
thank you for a memorable experience! A.H.
