what they say about me...
(some of the comments I received)
"Hi Yasmin, your training session was very pleasant, both from a dance point of view (I saw that you work very seriously, with yoga and much attention is given to the posture...), but especially from a personal point of view: you are very sweet and make yourself available which reflects on the group, in fact I found myself immediately accepted also by the other dancers. I like your way of teaching belly dancing, also studying the culture that lies behind the movements, interests me a lot (by the way thanks for the photocopies, the sujbect matter is fascinating). It was a real pleasure to practise with your group, but also to discover that there is an :Olivian" movement in Trieste as well. I am also fan of Olivia and her professional attitude which I immediately understood in you too. You are a very good teacher, strong to the point of keeping up the energy level of the group for the whole hour and half of the lesson and at the same time sweet, cheerful and helpful, just as if you have always been our friend."
I thank you a lot and wish you good dancing Ivana
"The show went well and you deserve it....with your passion and your committment..the success of your pupils is your success. I was sure of it, because I saw you practising in the small room...then I was lucky enough to have you as my teacher...if you made me move you can make the mountains move. You engulfed me like a wave :-) with your enthusiasm, your desire to live and give yourself heart and soul to your passions....you make me emotionally involved in your "adventures" and you have no idea how much...I love it when you tell me what goes on behind the scenes...I love it when you talk about yourself....
I strongly hope with all myself that this is one of the many successes that you will reap in your life...follow your heart, which is big and full of passion...and don't let the obstacles you find along the way stop you from wanting to realize your dreams...be happy, princess, because this is what you are..and keep all these sensations inside you ready to use when the road becomes hard...."

"My dear, I want to thank you for the wonderful feelings and emotions you gave us making us work with such patience and sweetness! It was fabulous and I enjoyed myself enormously - which is the most important thing! And so much personal satisfaction which counts a lot too - everything thanks to you!"
A big kiss Christiana
"You are really a special woman and I think all of us have understood this...maybe that's why we put all our energy into making you proud of us...the most wonderful thing is to be able to share emotions with real people...spontaneous...simple people I think that our little group is made up of people like that....thank you again for your patience and your sweetness."
A hug. Sabrina
"Hello I'm Patrizia, good morning! I am really happy to have met you. Thank you for helping me to discover a new world, I really love this new game I'm playing and since I started taking care of my looks my life has changed. I discovered that even if I'm dead tired I can't wait to come to the lesson and dance! See you soon"
"My dear teacher Yasmin, thank you from the bottom of my heart! A BIG THANK YOU for all the things you have given me in these years."
Bye and have a good day. Morena
"you Yasmin! I really enjoyed the workshops you organized and the teachers you invited! Workshops with Kesia and Walid Hussein will always be fantastic with a refined sharqui style and brilliant sparks of stimulii and energy. Well done also for the warming up session and stretching you made us do while waiting for Giulia."
Happy holidays, Sara

Iris
"Every time I can't wait for Thursday night, it gives me the energy for the whole week! I am enthusiatic about your course and have recommended it to everybody! A big kiss and have a nice w/e.”
AnnaPaola
"Hello superstar! I really must tell you....Thursday's lesson was wonderful! The idea of repeating the same parts with the objective of perfecting each one of us individually, made me enter the world of interpretation and abandon the technical one of just executing the movement. As a teacher myself I find that your method leaves nothing to chance, it is the best way: it motivates and pays back. I'm off to read the articles you mentioned. See you Thursday," , bye Rita
"Congratulations for today's show, you are really very good." Bye Jessica (I am a dear friend of Maura and was watching you from the first row).
"Dear Yasmin,
I left to come to Martinique in a rather sudden way. I wanted to tell you during the last lesson already, but I had tears in my eyes and as usual with a lump in my throat I couldn't say how important these dance lessons were to me and how much I'll miss you all. I feel so different with respect to the beginning of the course: I even feel like standing in the first line now, I can even take a glimpse at myself in the mirror without thinking straight away that everything I do is wrong and lots of other negative things.
We worked a lot on posture and this made me think: infact to curve ones shoulders leads you to locking your heart in a cage, instead if you keep your back straight it means that you literally carry your heart out, expose it also to the dangers of the world. It is as though my heart has wanted to free itself for a long time, as if it were waiting for nothing else...I feel I need freedom...I started out this dance course with the aim of succeeding (one day) to express what I feel by dancing, all my emotions. And to feel all these things is like having a thousand things to say, who knows if I'll be able to transfer these things to dancing. It is like going towards people with my heart open. I am very proud of myself (finally....) I can do it!!"
Susanna
"Hello! I was really very happy to meet you, actually I wish to take this occasion to congratulate you, you were exceptional! They told me to expect a big surprise, but I don't think anyone expected something like this !"
Flavio
"You're incredible!!! It is a great joy for me to have met you!!
See you tonight with more determination than ever!!!
Big kiss Patrizia B.
"Dear Yasmin, your words really moved me, once again you showed your sweetness, that sweetness that is in your eyes during the lessons, that patience and serenity that you always transmit and that makes us forget our problems for the two hours that we spend together. I haven't been with you for long but I immediately felt at ease, no nervousness about being a stranger amongst lots of other strangers, I can't wait for Thursdays to come round every week because that moment is all mine, in those two hours every uncertaintly disappears and the part of me that never came out and that often actually we women almost always have to hide to face daily life and its problems...for this I have to thank only you...I wish you all the happiness you desire..a kiss and have a good week."
Annalinda
"If you wanted to make me cry with emotion (and note that I haven't cried for six years) you managed to do so. You are really a magnificent present that life has given me. Just think that yesterday, as I was rehearsing on stage, and as I was about to do my dance interval, your words came to mind: PROUD POSTURE, AWARENESS OF THE MOVEMENT AND SMILE. Well my dear I think I did one of the best dance gigs ever: everyone clapped! I wanted to shout out that it was all thanks to you that I am starting to accept myself as I am even though my size is that of an elephant in the middle of a jungle that needs about 50mt. of space to move around.
I hope I can follow you on the journey we have started together for a long time to come: tired, with a long face, a sense of failure that I feel when I look into the mirror, but also with self irony, the warmth of the love I feel for you and for my fellow dancers.
A hug. Thank you."
Patrizia S.
"Your dance has been an extremely pleasant surprise, actually I must congratulate you, you were sensual and very good."
Andrea
"What beautiful words! I got emotional...the more I know you the more I realize what a special person you are...thanks for the encouragement and the trust.
I am happy that our lives have crossed and to "have chosen you" as my teacher...I say it from the bottom of my heart..
You are really beautiful and full of light in every way."
Thank you again.
A hug, Antonella.
