There are so many wonderful dancers and teachers to mention, I'm sure we can go on for a long time trying to include everyone and will! But here is a lady I can't believe we haven't mentioned yet!

Carolena wow! She is the mother of all Tribal Bellydance! I was so lucky to take her basic skills certification last winter, I fell in love! Wow I knew that she had started Tribal but I didn't really understand until then how thorough her knowledge was and how amazingly intricate and sublimely ATS is...

    She is so down to earth too! Back in the mid 90's, when I lived in Yuma, AZ. I would call to make an order or have a question and she always talked to me like an old friend. There are a lot of great dancers and teachers out there, but when you find one that makes YOU feel great...yea she does that for a lot of us.
    Thank you Carolena!

    So beautiful, graceful, kind, down to earth, and elegant.

    Loved her workshops at Tribal Cafe last year and can't wait to take them this year.

    She is brilliant and delightful, and should be wearing a crown to designate her as tribal royalty.

    I learned so much about arms from her instruction about physiology, and she teaches with such loving kindness.

    Backstage, she seems calmer and happier than any other performer about to go on... just so present and joyful.

    I am so grateful for all that she has given us, and all that she continues to inspire!

        I had thee most esteemed privilige to have tea with this woman and a heartfelt one-on-one talk with her that I will never forget. She seems and is a very private person and I felt so honored to be granted this audience! I fell in love with ATS in 2002, watched those DVD's religiously, still do, have done the GS & TT and am so proud to be able to call myself a FCBD Sister Studio! This woman created such an amazing dance that healed me and has transformed my life! I'm eternally grateful! Words cannot express my gratitude!
