Quotes from seminar attendees:
"Aziza Nawal was exceptional as a clear and concise instructor. I felt
she
taught us as much in those 4 short hours as I have gotten in other 6 (or
more) hour seminars. Also, on an individual basis, she was such fun to visit
with.... treating experienced and rank beginning dancers with equal respect
and friendliness. I would mark her high on my list to take another seminar
from." Tulsa, OK
"I wish every seminar instructor provided the class with such a thorough
and
complete package. I think you will probably gain a great reputation for
teaching such and informative and complete seminar!" (Dallas, TX)
"I felt like I came back from Tulsa not only having learned a new
choreography, but also with a better understanding of how to interpret
music." St. Louis, MO
