Testimonials / Reviews Tina and students warm up with breath work at start of class
I heard of Tina’s Belly dance class for a long time but couldn’t attend since the location is beyond my driving range. During the COVID pandemic, Tina started to offer Zoom lessons and I signed up as soon as I learned the news. Tina is an excellent Belly dance teacher. Her movements and choreography are elegant and beautiful. She is very patient and is able to explain the subtlety of the movement clearly no matter how many times I asked for the same questions. Even though it is a distant learning, she can pin point my problems and give me advices accordingly. I highly recommend Tina’s Belly dance classes! - Maggie C., Oct. , 2020
Since I started taking your class, I learn something new whether it's technique or musicality every
week. It's a challenge for me. It's hard but I want to learn as much I can. I never thought learning belly dance is this much fun! - Koko, Aug., 2020 "I started taking Tina's beginning bellydance classes two months ago in San Clemente and have been loving it! I just signed up for another session of classes! Tina is patient and customizes each class for her students. I just sat in on her advance belly dance class where she really focused on refining the moves and the technique. Great music selections and moves. You can really tell she loves what she does." - Janet W. 10/27/17

I'm really enjoying learning from you and how the drumming is so connected to the dancer. Thank you for making the effort to keep the music going. It takes real effort in these times and you are an intrepid spirt to keep plowing through all the obstacles. - Lamar K., Nov. 2020
"Thank you for teaching concise technique and reasons behind the dance as there are no substitutes, and thank you for pointing me in the direction to deepen my understanding. I hope that the ladies understand your guidelines and why they are necessary. Aside from being a wonderful person, I know for a fact that you are one of 3 teachers in Southern California with genuine knowledge of authentic Egyptian dance. I have studied with and observed many native artists/teachers in Egypt. EVERYONE is fortunate to be enrolled in one or more of your classes." - Juliet K., 6/15/16
"Thank you Tina, your choreography for our dance routine was exceptional. You really helped make the wedding very special and memorable. Your dance was mesmerizing!!! We miss dancing with you!!" - Muna S., 3/23/15 "Tina Enheduanna's lectures, demonstrations examples and presentations...are so important to know. These are most valuable Pearls of wisdom and knowledge in this genre of dance and music. This is truly an Academic Theory and Method class. It is University level!! I love it!!!!"
- Melissa T., 1/12/15 "Just started dancing with her and I love how natural the movement feels combined with how well she teaches and corrects us. I'm in the intermediate class and she regularly asks the students for input on what type of moves we'd like to cover in class before she goes to her planned syllabus and choreography. She's also very friendly and patient, regularly going over the moves and parts of choreography that we have trouble on, answering our questions and giving some of us a little extra attention to help with specific technique issues. I also like how the class flows at a good pace and is very reasonably priced. Plus the other students are friendly so its a nice & chill environment to learn in." - Abce E.

"I have been dancing with Tina Enheduanna for about 9 years and can honestly say that Tina is an excellent teacher. She not only has the ability to teach technique in a very easy to understand way, she also provides a very positive and supportive environment. Tina is by far one of my favorite dancers. Her artistry and expression of belly dance is one that should not be missed." - Salwa Yamine
"I've been taking Tina's classes for several years and not only are they fun & great for your health, you learn a lot about the history & culture of belly dance. Tina is a wealth of knowledge on middle eastern dance and music, the rhythms, where dance styles originated, etc." - Trina D.
"Tina is the best dance teacher I've ever had! She focuses on proper technique and grace. Tina also gives a lot of information about culture and history. This is a serious dance class but lots of fun too. I think my posture and movement in daily living have improved since I've been in Tina's class." - Jan S.
"The first time I saw Tina dancing, it was in a Belly Dance show featuring several well known professional Dancers, she was by far the best one of all. I was so impressed by her talent, that since that day I did everything I could to take classes with her. She is a great teacher not only very knowledgeable on different Belly Dance techniques and different rhythms but also knows and understands the Middle Eastern culture. I have seen many Belly dancers in the US, Egypt and International Competitions and she is at the top with the best."- Carolina P.
"Tina's classes are the highIight of my week! Beginning through advanced classes learn from the best- we are lucky she lives here in O.C.! I started Belly Dance 4 years ago at age 48 with little confidence in myself as a dancer and no knowledge of Belly Dance rhythms or history. Tina 's classes inspired me to learn & bring forth my dance expression at my own pace. I felt very encouraged by the more advanced dancers, and Tina's own dancing is so exquisite she makes even warm-ups beautiful. She sprinkles in fascinating info on the origins & customs in Belly Dance. Great for any age & any body!!!!!" - Diana C.

"I've been dancing with Tina Enheduanna for abut six years. Her dancing is sublime. Her precision is outstanding. Not only is she a beautiful dancer, and performer, but she's an outstanding instructor. She's clear in her instruction; she's patient, and inspiring. There's always new music, new moves, choreography, and new techniques to experience. If one is dancing at the beginning level, or at a more advanced level, the atmosphere is positive, exciting and, joyful. I've danced in many dance forms since I was very young. There are three instructors who are/were outstanding. Tina is one of those instructors." - Lois W.
