"I was REALLY impressed with you guys. I used to be in an arabic band that played for bellydancers so I've seen a ton of them and I really appreciate your skill and innovation. I feel like you guys are not throwing out the tradition but extending it and bringing in other strands like modern dance, thai stuff. Good good stuff!"
-Eric Stern, Artistic director, Vagabond Opera.

"Thank you so much for creating a truly MAGICAL Earthdance.
The timing and power of your performance was absolutely incredible! We are so grateful for your participation in this year's event!!!" SD Earth Dance 9/13/08
