REVIEW: Juana Perez says:
As soon as I walk in the door I feel transformed.
From the sexy pillows and the romantic ambiance,
it makes me feel like I am truly a dancer somewhere
out in the Middle East... I love the seductive moves
... and the hour work out.

Yelena
I started to take belly dance lessons with Kareena a few months ago. I love the sensuality of belly dance. Kareena's style of teaching is very soothing and relaxing. Kareena makes you feel graceful, sexy and classy. I love Kareena's professionalism. You will very much enjoy taking classes with Kareena no matter if you are a beginner or advanced dancer. I absolutely recommend to come and try one of her classes.

Sweet magic studio was exactly what it promises to be,
a place where your body immediately feels controlled
and poised, ready to move. Your mind becomes inspired
by an amazing woman who leads you through poses that
must begin from the inside in order to see the physical
movement on the outside. As a yoga instructor I found
belly dancing to be a much more spiritual and internal
exploration than I was assuming it would be, but my abs
killed me the next day, so either way I'm happy!
Thanks Kareena!

I have an awesome time at Kareena's belly dance classes.
She has a thorough knowledge of what she is teaching
and does a great job of breaking down the moves so that
you are able to learn them at your own pace. There is
always great energy and excitement in the room and you can
tell that everyone loves to be there! Belly dance is
a great way to free the body and the mind... it's feminine,
powerful and beautiful! I definitely recommend it!

Every Wednesday night I head to the city for the one of the
most exciting activities of my busy week: belly-dancing
with Kareena! Combining classic moves and modern choreography,
Kareena leads our aspiring group into sexy hip sways,
body shimmy, and veil swirls, all accompanied by spell-
binding music. The class is not only about seductive moves,
though. Kareena's routines include proper warm-ups and movements that include the whole body.
She focuses on developing flexibility and strength. Also,
step-by-step instruction makes the movements easy to follow,
whether you are a beginner or more advanced student.

When I finally gathered the courage to try belly dancing I found Sweet Magic Studio.
While I may not always feel comfortable with the skin I'm in,
I have,thanks to Kareena's patience,words of encouragement,
and enthusiasm for dance learned that I CAN move gracefully.
I CAN embrace the sensuosness of my physical self and be
more accepting of my curves.
I have also dropped in on her yoga classes and always come
out refreshed and feeling a little more at peace with my
physical self.We should all have Kareena's zest for living
and moving through life as well as she does.
Kareena is a fantastic teacher.

As a Christmas gift and New Year's resolution, I decided to enroll in the six-week beginners belly dancing classes at Sweet Magic Studio on Saturdays. After the first class on January 6, I was very impressed and instantly captivated.
Kareena is a wonderful instructor who is highly knowledgeable,
caring, patient and enthusiastic about teaching.
The classes are so much fun and are very addictive! Even though I only had three sessions so far, I can't wait for the
next weekend and look forward to going to the next class and learn something new.
Each class has been different and unique. The classes are very
affordable and have convenient evening or weekend hours. In fact after the six-week sessions are over, I am thinking of getting the pass for 15 classes so I can go on Saturdays and Sundays
