“Learning from Marta is an experience in more than just bellydance. Her classes changed my life, as she guided us through good lifestyle habits, self-love and empowerment. You gain more than an art form, you gain confidence, great friends and a greater awareness of how beautiful your body is in every shape and form. I miss her classes badly!”

“Marta is a lovely person with a genuine passion for Bellydance and her classes are a lot of fun. She works closely with everyone and the way she teaches is easy to understand, even for complete beginners like myself. I would totally recommend her classes and I think they would make a great activity for a Bridal shower or similar parties.”
