some Comments from Amora Shams al-Nur students :

Anybody can shake their thing, but few teachers share the sacrets. Learning to control your movements by using your inner energy gives you a fantastic magical new way to dance exotic and not erotic. That is what makes Amora classes worth the effort. (Maria, Greek, private and group student 2004-05 in London)

She teaches us in a very professional way, from a beginning she teaches correctly the movement and not a showing off like other teachers I have been with. Is not only enjoyable, but you learn a lot because of her lay-out, and she teaches traditional Belly Dancing, Egyptian Dance. (Ava Iranian, private and group student 2003-05 in London)

You gain deeper knowledge of your power and you can use it to beat the stress in every day life. Amora lessons are better then a massage. (Rafaella, Italian, private and group student 2004-05 in London)

Her lessons are rich in informaton, she describes the movements and explains why we do this movement, she covers lots of History. I feel more confident, more energy, happier and relaxed. (Atish, Iranian, group student 2004-05 in London)

I like the good humor in her lessons, we learn a lot. Personally I feel very great about energy and the precision of explaining how chakras work. (Kristina, Lithuanian, group student 2005 in London)

This is more than a fun way to get tonned. Amora knowledge of bellydance's origins and her skill as a classical ballet dancer mean a really professional result. (Alison Bates, British Art Director group student 2004-05 in London)

"It's impossible to describe what you feel in her classes, when you recieve them, then you become conscious of how lucky you have been meeting her" Original text is in Spanish: "es imposible describir lo que sientes en sus clases, hasta que no las recibes no eres consciente de la suerte que has tenido en conocerla" (Benita Garcia Garrido, Spanish, private student 2007 and 2008, in Almunecar, Granada)

"She mixes her amazing technique with the knowledge of the Origen of Dance making you to catch its essence. Atention girls, she knows perfectly when you have been training at home or just being lazy! Amora has been my first teacher and thanks to her I keep practicing in Barcelona, because, even if I recognise that I am a slowly student,, she always had a helping word to make you keep going ... Thank you Amora for catching me into Belly Dancing, by shure I won't have continous if I won't have met you!" Original text in Spanish: Es difícil explicar lo que se siente con sus clases, alterna su gran técnica con los conocimientos del orígen de la Danza haciendo que captes su esencia. Atención chicas sabe perfectamente cuando has estado practicando o cuando has estado perezosa! Amora ha sido mi primera profesora y gracias a ella sigo practicando en Barcelona porque, a pesar de mi torpeza, ella siempre tenía una palabra de aliento para seguir adelante...
Gracias Amora por haberme "enganchado" a la Danza del Vientre, seguramente no hubiera seguido de no ser por ti! (Rossi, Spanish mother of two, private student 2007 in Almunecar, Granada, South Spain)

Student Impressions:

5th of August 2008 (Cairo, Egypt), my beginner student Jenny Eish from USA brought to me this drawing from her first home work. I asked her to draw the impression she got from the lesson, and this is the result she had:
