"This year’s trip surpassed all those of the past. It was fascinating to experience the desert and see what life must have been like for those banished from the Nile. The landscapes were awe-inspiring and we had some real fun in the 4x4 too! I enjoyed all of the cultural experiences but especially the Coptic group and of course the Maazin sisters- a once in a lifetime opportunity I think! It was lovely to see Sheikh Tuni is still performing with his ancient dignity and deep spiritual song! So Thank You once again for giving us an unique insight into the Egyptian people, their lands and their culture.” (Ellie - UK)

“Thanks again to you for making the holiday such a wonderful experience. It was very well organised and the cultural evenings gave us a privileged glimpse into authentic Egyptian culture. The illustration of the interplay between the playful and the serious in the music was an important revelation for me - I now feel I understand the role of music/dance in the culture more clearly. Your dancing was moving and highly inspiring. You were completely in the music, such a contrast with the belly dancers we saw! What particularly impressed me was the way you express the dance with such powerful feminity and elegance, dignified but passionate. A real inspiration! It was also of course fabulous to dance every day to such excellent live musicians. I enjoyed the fact we didn't focus on technique too much but just danced and enjoyed the music in such a beautiful location overlooking the Nile and the Valley of the Kings. I thought this was very freeing.I look forward to your next trip and will be recommending it to my students and dance colleagues.” (Lise - UK)
“I would like to thank you or the wonderful visit to Luxor. I especially appreciated being totally immersed in Egyptian culture, through the visits to the various sites and temples and through the fabulous cultural evenings which were enormously varied and inspirational. I was particularly touched by the incredible experience of dancing with all of the excellent musicians, but in particular with the Musicians of the Nile. I felt there was a bond between musicians and dancers which is difficult to describe to those who have not experienced it. Thank you again for your energy, your never-ending patience, your enthusiasm and your determination to ensure that everyone enjoyed the trip to the maximum. It was an experience which I will treasure forever and I am sure that we will all re-live it in our minds for a long time after our return. Also, enormous thanks to your husband for his excellent organization. It seemed so effortless, but I think we only can imagine a small part of the work it takes to organize such a visit. I am delighted to have been able to share this magical trip with you and with such a superb group of students, many of whom have become friends. I return to my country with an even greater inspiration to continue my dancing and a desire to return to Egypt as soon as you organize the next trip. Thank you again. » (Lynne -UK)
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip. I really enjoyed my stay. So did the other Finns. A week after returning home I met one of the Finnish ladies. She said to me " I wish I was still in Egypt." … Now I really understand the wonderful "pearls" you had collected for us. I mean especially all the musicians and performances in cultural evenings and in dance classes too. It was wonderful to dance with you with such a good live music. Thanks for everything. Looking forward the next trip.” (Helena - Finland)
“The Finnish group wants to thank you both about this amazing experience in Luxor.” (Aila, Liisa, Sirpa, Marion, Miika, Arja, Heli, Eija, Erkki and Marjukka - Finland)
“I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful dancing week in Luxor. For me it was a very good experience the dancing with the live musicians and also I liked your style and expression. Very powerful. Very nice dresses also. How you say in English: good taste of fashion?
Also the evenings were interesting. Also if the sufi and singers were completely new and probably I had no idea of the deeper meaning. But it was a very good entrance to start to know more about. More about also the culture, people and mentality. And of course of the dance!! More you know more you want to know and more you know you know that you know nothing. Dear Beatrice, hope to see you again another time.” (Felicitas - Germany)
