Paula,
I'm hooked on your DVD. It has got to be the best instructional DVD available for belly dancing. Went to bed late last night and turned it back on before breakfast this morning. I believe this is something I will do every spare minute. On my way to tap/jazz on Monday night, I noticed some girls bellydancing on the lawn at Reynolda Village about 6:30pm. I wondered if they were your students. Smart girls to start young. Hope I can get my daughters hooked on bellydancing. Thanks again for making my day!

Hi
Paula,
The Junior League Sustainers group is still talking about their great time with you on April 8! And those who didn't venture out to join us are kicking themselves because we have reported having so much fun! I appreciate your introducing so many to the art of belly-dancing that night. Everyone commented on what a great way it was to get in shape. I think you would have some takers if you offered a summer beginner class. Best |
|
Dear Paula,
Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful program. You and your group are so talented. We are all in awe of your grace and of course your figure! Please tell all your ladies how much we appreciate their coming all this way to give us such a great program.
Love, |

Paula,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! got the dvd. You are amazing, you look fabulous, and you are the best belly dancer instructor I have seen. This is the honest true. I have not seen anyone taking the time to actually illustrate the moves and use the floor print to show figure 8. You are precise and concise. I am certainly thrilled with the DVD. You are second to none girl, or I should say Ma'am. Yes indeed. You are a true teacher, and an excellent dancer, let alone the exquisite taste in your wardrobe, and room decoration. Keep up the good work... you are so talented. As you know, I have a passion for belly dancing. However, have not found the right instructor to help me develop this passion with a true understanding of how to make the moves correctly and more important safely. You instructional dvd allows me manifest my passion. Thanks again. Sincerely, |
|
Paula,
We all so enjoyed you and your girls performance tonight. You have reason to be proud! You are so professional and you've done a tremendous job with your dancers. Each time I watch you perform you continue to get better and better (and I wonder how that's possible). Keep up the good work!

was looking for. And you already are a teacher, and an incredible teacher
too! Thank you again, By the way, I finally go the forward circle 8's. I kept at
it until I go it down!!
Thank you, |

Paula, The blonde girl in lavender that danced the solo was just wonderful to watch. She was so graceful and looked so relaxed. You could tell she enjoyed every move she made. The sword dancer was great as well. The whole show was most enjoyable. You must be very proud of them!!! I know I've found a great instructor!! Thanks |

I had my first class with Delilah last night and it was WONDERFUL! She's such a
wonderful person and teacher...it was so hard for me to not fall at her feet and
worship her!
We started the class talking about some history of belly dance and it's evolution here in the USA...Delilah made the comment that Belly Dance is biggest right now in the Southern States...and I all of a sudden chimed up and said that it was so true...that I was from NC and it's so big there! She looked straight at me and asked who I took from in NC and I told her...Paula Stump. Delilah got this look of pure joy and hilarity on her face...still smiling at me she said...I love Paula...I could tell you some stories about me and her...she then proceeded to spend about 15 minutes telling the whole class about how you sought her out to teach because you didn't have any teachers in NC...she even told the class about how one time you actually beat her in a Belly Dance competition! Any way...I thought you'd get a kick out of hearing that Delilah just had nothing but wonderful things to say about you...Thanks so much for introducting me to Belly Dance and to Delilah...I can tell I'll learn as much from her as I did from you. Love, Robin :) |
