TESTIMONIALS AND MEDIA COVERAGE

"Zohar's amazing artistry takes me to the depths of my breath, to the highest states of my consciousness, to the sublime realms with her mesmerizing performances. Not...to be missed!!"

Andrea M. White, Producer and Host
"The Great Awakening" WXCI 91.7 FM

"In a well performed dance, Zohar spun and manipulated gold and silver capes resembling huge angel wings."

Anna Kisselgoff, Dance Critic
The New York Times

"Tasteful and highly entertaining. Zohar's beautiful dance performance was enjoyed by all."

Translated from The Chinese Weekly

"For Zohar, belly dancing connects women with their archetypal feminine energy. 'when women learn this dance, they get back in touch with a part of themselves which our culture hasn't fostered,' Zohar said. 'You can be powerful and feminine, strong and soft, enticing and modest, chaste and voluptuous. This dance embraces a great many aspects of being a woman that we don't have a chance to explore through ordinary means.' Zohar's aim is to bring to light the true significance of the dance and to present it as the sacred prayer and meditation it was originally meant to be. In this new paradigm the dance is a graceful prayer filled with passion: a dance of renewal."

Cynthia Magriel Wetzler, feature story writer
The New York Times

"To see Zohar dancing is to experience some divine force moving through you. Her mysteriously beautiful and elegant movements stir up something deep inside of us, something original and powerful, perhaps the very life giving creative force."

Chun Kim-Levin, Director

"Zohar has the gift of bringing Spirit into Matter. Our program called 'Mysticism and The Feminine Journey' featured a performance by Zohar. We were all deeply moved by the melding of spirituality, grace and sensuality in her dancing. Truly this dance is a celebration of the Divine Feminine all women hold within their bodies and Zohar helped us connect with that awareness and delight in a new depth of knowing our own aliveness."

Rev. Ann Emerson, Director
The Sanctuary of Sophia

PARTICIPANTS SAY

"I think Middle Eastern dance is a beautiful mind, body, spirit "workout". I love belly dancing music. The movements are beautiful with a meditative quality. It's a workout that's fun, different, interesting, good for toning, sensual and feminine!"

Linda, IBM Contract Administrator 

"I didn't want to do belly dancing at first. I had big self-esteem/confidence issues, especially regarding my post-childbirth body. But I love it and my self-confidence has grown greatly! I feel for the first time in 32 years that I can be graceful. It has had an effect on many aspects of my life. Not to mention that my husband loves it!!"

Dori, RN 

"I came to the workshop with a lot of prejudice. I expected a sort of "party entertainment". My friends and I were pretty tense before the class, so I wasn't at all prepared to see in this dance such an expression of female dignity, grace and confidence. Now I want my 13 year old daughter to learn what we learnt here. This has been a great experience. I thank you!"

Monika

"Middle Eastern dance has provided me with breathing and relaxation techniques that help me to refocus after a stressful workday. It gives me 60 minutes to concentrate on myself, to better my body, my spirit and my soul. It is a release of energy like no other form of dance or exercise I have ever experienced! "

Stacey, Software Product Manager 

"I love the way belly dancing makes you move your body - it's so sensual, ancient and goddess-like. While teaching gracefulness and coordination, it opens you up in a way that regular daily activity does not."

Margaux, College Student
