RECENT REVIEWS

Mel  "Barbara exudes excitement and passion for Belly Dance. You can't help but become entranced & engaged in a Dancing Spirit Studio class! She incorporates many forms of dance into her classes & is excellent at describing the movements so that you remember how to do them with proper form. This summer  I was introduced to Turkish, Egyptian, Gypsy, Flamenco & even Tribal style Belly Dance . There is SO much more to belly dancing than I thought! I am the daughter of two dance instructors ( I grew up in a dance studio until 4th grade) but by NO means would I consider myself a 'natural' dancer... I have trouble with my 'right & left' and have to work hard to remember choreography! Barbara never makes me feel badly. There are students of all ages and body types in classes.  Belly dance should be a mandatory discipline for all females everywhere. There is nothing else that makes you feel as strong and beautiful. The Dancing Spirit is a beautiful studio in a magical place with a wonderful and inspirational instructor. Barb can help you find your inner goddess and make her shine! I am SO glad that I found this little gem in Tiverton....Join a class and let the movement and music enrich your life Thanks Barb!! xoxo

Martha ,"  I signed up again for Belly Dance fitness . I am so glad I walked through Barb's door. I joined with a group of "newbies", women of all ages, shapes, sizes and rhythms. For 2 hours we stretch, work muscles some of us never thought we had or that we lost. We have learned belly dance techniques that are fun and low impact. Belly Dance Fitness has given me the opportunity to do something for me. I am not going to a gym ,feeling self conscious about looking stupid on a piece of equipment that I don't know how to use. At Belly Dance Fitness, I am my own piece of equipment that I am learning to sculpt & maneuver in my own individual way. I have only been at The Dancing Spirit Studio for a short time but I already signed up for her next session.If you are dying to do something fun, different, healthy ....it is time to think outside the box.Try Belly Dance Fitness. You won't regret it."

Norma , "Need a workout to work off some pounds?  Belly Dance fitness is an hour & a half of intense isometric, non-impact exercise suitable for all ages. It  happens in a non-judgmental, fun, relaxed atmosphere. Learn some belly dance moves that you can use to create your own original dance.Always wanted to dance, but don't know your right from your left? Think you're too old to start?  Belly Dance is for you.  Learn to dance the way women have danced for centuries.  According to Barb, "If you can walk you can dance".  Give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much you can do.

Jane said "  There are myriad majestic, mysterious, and magical things going on with belly dance. Barb's class is a great combination of fun, fitness, and fantasy.  Everyone looks like femme fatales in the wonderful scarves and veils!  There is cultural education, enlightment and entertainment.  Get a alternative right here!! Barb  is worth twice the price - great sense of humor, disciplined instruction and a real encourager.  You should come!

Mindy "  The Dancing Spirit is a place you can go to be transformed spiritually emotionally and physically. You learn the wonders of your own body and use muscles you didnt even know you had! Go on a spiritual journey with Barb and you will never be the same and  you dont want to be!
