Testimonials:

Sharon Kihara, Bellydance Superstars-
Mira Betz is my favorite dancer to watch right now. She has a rare maturity and emotional connection in her performances, well seasoned beyond her years. She manages to impart these qualities while maintaining a playful and theatrical value; this woman is a true professional, and has a really unique style that's hard to put a label on. I enjoy taking Mira's classes whenever I can, her teaching style is challenging yet accessible, with a very pleasing combination of expression, artistry, studied technique and strength. I feel freshly inspired every time I see her perform, she's a reminder to me of what made me fall in love with bellydance in the first place! If you have the good fortune to encounter her, either on stage or in a workshop, consider yourself quite fortunate; Mira has been a very well-kept secret, but it seems the cat's out of the bag--

Amy Sigil, Director of Unmata
Mira Betz! Herewe go! She's technically amazing. But let's not start there. She's exciting, emotional, and "real" all at the same time. In my opinion she is one of the most understated bellydancers in the US. Her workshops are precise, well planned and I guarentee she will make you think differently. That's what I love the most about her work, she's not afraid to share her ideas. Let the secrets die in someone else's tomb, Mira Betz is sharing now. I love that.

Zoe Jakes, The Indigo and Bellydance Superstars
Mira transcends any 'label' that has been attached to bellydance. I believe any dancer, of any style, can truly benefit from this very talented and graceful performer. My butt and brain still hurt from her Shimmy Workshop!

Samantha Hasthorpe, The Bellydance Superstars
It is hard to articulate just how incredible Mira is on many
many levels. I'm glad the cat is finally out of the bag as that means Mira might finally be teaching somewhere near me, and I won't have to move from Europe to Oakland just to be near her and her wicked classes. Also a private class with Mira is well worth it, I come away with so much to work on, and a wealth of new inspiration. She is encouraging, engaging and works towards helping develop your own individual style. She don't mess around. Love her."

Daniela, Hip-Notic Dance Company-
Mira is not only an incredible performer but an incredible instructor. Her style is elegant, graceful and stunning! One of the best performers I have seen out there! What I love about her as a teacher is that she is challenging but also encouraging. With a solid foundation of technique and then on top of that a completely unique style she is one of my favorite! She is undefinable and indescribable!
