CT Bellydance with Tava - Norwalk, Connecticut

Tava is amazing! She was the perfect addition to our wedding celebration, and the guests loved her. Not only did she do an incredible performance (that included getting the bride and groom up), she also helped lead the dabke as many of our guests were unfamiliar with the dance.

We absolutely plan to see more of her, and hope to take some lessons! (photos by YMVisuals)

We had Tava perform her cultural dances at our elementary school during diversity week and were so pleased with her performance! She is a very talented dancer and was so good with the children. She gave historical and cultural background to each dance and shared her knowledge with the children in a way that was both accessible, age-appropriate, and fun! I'd highly recommend Tava to perform at your school, library, or event!

I had Tava for my daughter graduation party and I was really impressed by her artistic style of dance. She did a wonderful performance and all guests from different ages enjoyed the performance. Her performance was spectacular. She engaged the guests in her performance nicely. Almost all guests told me that the performance was one of the best they had ever seen. We have Middle eastern background and have seen many bellydance performances in the past but Tava's skill was truly impressive. She is an Artist. I will definitely invite her to my parties in future and recommend her to all.

Tava is the "real deal"! Her authenticity, passion and dedication to her craft is apparent in her teaching as well as in her performances. As my teacher she guides and motivates me to move in ways that feel organic, never forcing but instead allowing freedom of motion to unfold. As a dancer/performer she is captivating! She connects with the audience in a warm and open manner that invites genuine participation. Her style is infused with both power and femininity. Tava's dance shines the light on all!

Tava is an amazing teacher and performer. She is able to conduct a class of all levels ensuring that everyone is learning at their specific level (no easy feat!) and inspires everyone in the class to learn more about the history of bellydance while having fun and feeling great! Watching Tava dance is a true joy - she embodies the music and brings everyone in the room on a journey with her - and will get everyone in your party up and dancing!

I've never met anyone who compares to Tava. She teaches bellydance to anyone who wants to learn this art form and meets them where they are. She teaches us bellydance moves and bellydance history, She gently injects culture lessons into her classes so that we become more aware and sensitive to other cultures besides our own whatever they may me. She's captivating to watch because she knows how to move and knows how to authentically move people emotionally. I stress the word - authentically. I wish to be Tava in my next life!

"Dancer", "Teacher", "Choreographer"....Tava has many titles, but probably the most impressive title is "Student". Despite such vast and varied experience as a performer and instructor, Tava continues to train regularly to deepen not only her technique, but her understanding of the rich history and cultures this dance comes from. And because of her relentless commitment to keep learning, she shines as one of the most humble and authentic dancers performing. Her beauty, integrity, and true love and devotion to this artform shine brighter than the most crystal-clad costume. Whether looking to hire a breathtaking performer for your event, or if you are looking for one of the warmest, most knowledgeable, and most welcoming teachers to take a class with, truly look no further. Tava has substance behind the sparkles.

Tava is an amazing instructor. I've been taking her classes twice a week for some time now and I learn something new every class. (Taking her class consistently is the key!) You get so much more than just a workout in her class. I've learned about culture, Middle Eastern rhythms, history, and of course, movement. Until I took her classes, I didn't know that there were so many styles of bellydance! If you ever wanted to try bellydance, then Tava is the person you want to learn from!
