KIND WORDS
Past clients share their thoughts about working with Barbara.
Meeting Barbara was a life-changing experience. In her I found not just a teacher but a dear friend. Such an inspiration of a woman! She dances from her soul, and her guidance helps others to find themselves as well. Her vision of dance as a spiritual tool of personal development is loving and unique!

"Barbara is the best dance teacher I have ever known. She works with you in a such a personal way that helps you release the dancer within. Through her gentle teaching she gave me great confidence and taught me to understand my body. Our classes were always such fun, and through Barbara, we felt like we were one happy family."

"I have the utmost respect and admiration for Barbara as a performer and a teacher of dance. Her manner combined with her talents and love of dance brings out the best in even the most nervous beginner.
I have seen Barbara's Balinese and Odissi dancing and am in awe of her ability to transform herself and express the spirit of other cultures. She is dedicated and professional in all matters and is a person of the highest integrity. Her dancing is something that will not be forgotten by those who are lucky enough to see it."

"The work with Barbara was for me a deep encounter in one of the most difficult moments of my life, when I had lost everything that supposedly gives us support in life. Unlike other times in which I could support family, work, a project, a couple, my first times in Buenos Aires were a total depersonalization when everything I had gone to that city for in a few months fell apart. For the first time in my life I did not know what I wanted or what direction to follow.
Working with Barbara and combining dance therapy and English helped me focus, sustain and root myself. As a Spanish speaker I needed to use the right words to express the emotional gale that was inside me. Barbara, with a lot of love, kindness and clarity, helped me by helping me go to my center and have the clarity to start over. The presence of Barbara in my life was and is a blessing."
- Roxanna, Buenos Aires
"Barbara's holistic approach to dancing helped me focus on my body and gave me also an internal power, making me more complete than I've ever felt before. I appreciated her sensitivity to everyone's needs, and she always taught in such a caring, nurturing way."

"Barbara, I have to tell you how amazing it was to dance and share with you. Your guidance is so amazing and powerful. You have opened the spiritual dance up for me in a way that was long over due and so appreciated from deep within. You have helped guide me into a form of divinity expressed through movement, and ended a long transition into my oneness with all. Through movement, meditation and divine mantra, I heal the Earth and myself one graceful mudra at a time. Thank you for sharing your spirit and knowledge."

"Barbara is a very nurturing dance therapist. She dealt with issues of mine I didn't think would come up in a dance therapy session. Her supportive energy was with me at all times and I felt safe to also look at my dark side. I felt so free to be myself in her dance therapy care. I felt like a butterfly that could express all my colors."
