Testimonials

‘Throughout my Oriental Dance path, competitions have been very important in my development as a dance artist. Catarina is my teacher and she was the one wo challenged me to participate, believing I could get lots of tools and experience out of it. And she was super right! I have already participated 8 times - in Amateur, Advanced, Folklore and Group Category - and achieved 5 prizes in which Catarina has a big responsability. She helped me in every moment of the process of preparing for competition: in editing the music, giving me feedback in my choreography, practicing the technique, in the choice of costumes, in make-up and hair and in always giving me lots of mental support in, out of rehearsals and also just before entering the stage. I can also tell you that everytime I enter the stage I always take her knowledge with me - I already participated in a singing competition and used everything she taught me in the Conquer the Stage pack in terms of stage presence and presentation, for example. If you want someone to help you through this experience, you won’t regret choosing Catarina as your mentor.’

‘In 2018, I searched for the amazing Catarina Branco with the intention of prepare myself to a Bellydance festival. I met an incedible professional, incansável in the art of teaching who managed to extract the best in my dance. I bring to life all of her ensinamentos which were way beyond technque, exploring scenic elements, costumes and the thing that’s going to last forever in me: attitude!’

Sabrinne Cordeiro, Oriental Dance Student

‘The prepatation for a competition is always a one of the peaks of my evolution as dancer. With the rehearsals, I practice with Catarina not only to improve gradually my technique but also to evolve my technique to a more objective goal in my mind. The competitions are a great incentive for a little disciplined person like me. To have concrete goals helps me to outline a more cohesive path and to reach a more fulfilling goal. Catarina always helps me to outline this path and encourages me to give my best and even more. As a dancer with a wide curriculum in national and international oriental dance competitions, Catarina sends me confidence and security not only in the work she develops with me but also in my evolution. With her guidance, I know I’ll always be apt to the category I’m registering in and I know she will always be honest with me and worried about my stage performance.
