Sparkles
- Accolades from Admirers

Shamira,

I wanted to tell you that my friends and I loved your show at Marakesh last Saturday (6/4). It was a really special experience for all of us. Having enjoyed your classes so much over the last 5-6 years, I was delighted to at last be able to see you dance in a show. Such a lovely surprise. Loved your beautiful black costume and all that glittery jewelry and the great music. It was perfect! You really do sparkle.

Thank you so much for a most fun, festive and magical experience.

All my best to you,
Diane Swanson

Hi Shamira:

I'm writing a short note to let you know that your show tonight at Lodos was great. My mother and my brother enjoyed your show a lot and they had a great time. From my part I just can say that seeing you dancing is magical. One thing is to see you at class and another is to really see you performing like tonight.

I'm glad I had the chance to see you performing. Natalie had mentioned to me a couple of time that you were her favorite belly dancer, now I know why.

Sincerely,
Gigi
