Retreat Testamonials
"I have always known that dancing is fun! I knew that this retreat was going to be fun! I knew that Zerina is a good teacher.. and a lot of fun! But oh-boy, did it ever exceed all my expectations!! Big time!! It actually IS transformational, the whole experience. On that dancefloor I turned into a fun-loving, joyful, playful, happy, shining, sexy, feminine, confident being (well... into a Goddess really:)!!)... and now that I have awaken the goddess in me, I am not letting her go!! Thank you Zerina and Alison!! I did not really have any kind of dance traning before the retreat ( if anyone is hesitating because of that, don't!!), so this has been another thing (besides the fun-loving Goddess in me:) that I have taken from the retreat into my daily life! Keep on dancing, YAY!!" - Liina from Estonia
"The Bollywood Bliss dance retreat was superb in all ways. I loved the dancing - SO much fun! Morning yoga was the perfect way to start the day, and now I'm back at home doing yoga every morning. Zerina and Alison are wonderful facilitators and fun, accessible people. Experiencing the many aspects of Indian culture - costuming, henna, and, of course, the Bollywood movies! - enhanced my expression in the dance and my overall enjoyment of the retreat. Thank you so much for a delightful and life-changing week!" - Meg from Hawaii
"I am a volunteer at Kalani Oceanside Retreat Center. When I saw that there would be a Bollywood Bliss Retreat coming up, I made sure to get time off so I could participate! I didn't know much about Bollywood, but I knew it was high-energy dance that would be a lot of fun and that I loved the music. I am so glad that I took the retreat!! The facilitators (Zerina and Allison) were great dancers/teachers and so friendly! And I don't know the last time I got so much exercise in one week! We learned two full dances and several dance moves that we performed on the final night of the retreat. It was so much fun and the audience loved it! I would love to do more Bollywood dance!" - Lucy USA
