Testimonials 

Classes with Adriana were well structured & planned in a very friendly learning enviroment. The teacher was one of the best dance teachers I have worked with, have studied a number of different styles but no teacher had the passion & conviction held by her. Bellydancing with Adraina is an excellent way to work out core muscles that often get over looked in other forms of excerise and is a perfect way to boost your self confidence and body image.

Having travelled through life thinking I had two left feet it was only through meeting Adriana and experiencing her bellydance classes that I actuallly believed I could dance.
 
Adriana was full of vitality, enthusiasm and a belief in her students. and was able to convey her confidence and energy to everyone in her class.
 
The classes were fun and well structured and a great way to kep fit and toned. I did Adriana’s Egyptian, Hip Hop, Classical Egyptian and prop classes and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
 
Since Adriana left Ireland I have got a few of her students together to practice once a fortnight. We have danced at a wedding, a birthday party and Cork’s Gay Pride Parade, something I couldn’t ever have imagined doing a few years ago. Adriana has given me the confidence to attend workshops and bellydance conventions. I have also gone on to study other dance styles such as Lindy Hop and Swing.
 
Adriana is sorely missed by the bellydancing community in Cork, but I look forward to her visiting these shores sometime in the future to teach me some new fancy moves!!!

Adriana is funny, loving, sweet and full of vibrant energy. She took me aside and gave me a hug after my second class without really knowing her. I was going through a very painful divorse, and somehow she knew I was in pain. When I asked her how and why she knew, her response was-I felt you vibe and I can see it in your eyes you were sad so I gave you a hug because we all need a hug from time to time. That was the very first time I was so deeply touched by her warmth and will never forget that night. There are thousands of teachers out there, but to me Adriana is a very special being, she cares very much for people in general and she gave me hours of dancing that helped me lift my soul. Thank you Adriana

The classes were EXCELLENT ! Every day I am still so sorry that Adriana is not
living on our island anymore as I miss her classes daily !She  is a very experienced dancer with the ability to transfer her
knowledge to unexperienced people, reaching a very high performance level in a very short time.The classes with Adriana strengthened many musles and perfectly shaped my body. In addition to all these good things it brings the mind and the body in complete balance as well as ones self confidence.

The classes were amazing at first I never thought I would not like it, but to my surprise I liked everything about it. Especially with a teacher like Adriana who is very dedicated to her students her passion for belly dancing makes you want to learn more and become better a dancer. I was in the best shape while taking belly dance classes it boosted my energy level and got a nice waist and butt from it. I felt sexy and discovered a whole different side of myself… I had a little secret while I danced I loved looking at myself in the mirror because I felt very sexy and confident about my entire body..

The classes you taught were of a very high standard and it was plain to me that you master this form of art on the highest level. During the year you taught me you took a course in Spain to learn new techniques which you then taught us when you came back. That to me clearly showed that you’re very committed to belly dancing. In my opinion you’ve also succeeded in motivating your students to achieve the highest level they could. 
After each class I always had the feeling that I’d had a very good workout. And after a few classes I also noticed that the hipdrops had played a significant part in reducing my hip size. Also my tummy became flatter. And I used to tell my friends about my belly dance classes which were so much fun and such a good way to exercise.
I also enjoyed the background information you used to give about belly dancing.

After meeting her, seeing her work, her shows and the results of her teachings I think Adriana is the best thing that has happened to the Irish Bellydance scene in a very long time. Her work is a smooth blend of inspiring creativity and organized professionalism. The Ireland scene will not be the same, and I hope that when she gets tired of the sun, she can come back to us!.

Adriana Echeverri is an exceptional choreographer and teacher. She is very disciplined when it comes to her work. I have been directed by her in the past and her charisma and ingenuity is truly refreshing.
-Andrea Spisto, London UK
 
I was her student for about a year, but in that short perios I learned so much. Not just about the art of dancing but about determination. We prepared a show in less than 4 months and it was a complete success, without Adriana’s devotion, long hours of training and her wonderful gift of not only beaing a great teacher but an amazing dancer.
