Belly Dance Odyssey Show Feedback

“Truly magnificent to watch”
“ A first class show”
“ I hope they do another”
“ When’s the next one?”
" Magical"


The costumes spoke for themselves, the changes between dances were seamless and the music was fantastic and appropriate.
Susan and Richard Morris

'it was brilliant and fabulous' and when will we perform it again?'

“Absolutely magical – it gave me Goosebumps”

 

My friends and family were all very impressed and were captivated; thought we all did brilliantly and worked so well together - my family were mesmerised by Gerry-Rae and thought she moved beautifully.

 

" Really enjoyed the show and thought you were all so brave, made we wana sign up" - work colleague

Thank you to the Eastern Roses for having us as part of your wonderful show, Me Wade & girls were all very proud to be part of it. And my girls did so well, they were all newbie performers - first time ever dancing in a theatre and only the 2nd performance for 4 of them- for the other 2 it WAS their very first performance!
The audience - well, what can I say, the support & enthusiasm, obvious enjoyment etc etc - you're right, it should be bottled!
Fan bloomin tastic!
Much love & glowing pride
Elaine & Wade

 

"It was a fantastic experience and thank you so much for the opportunity. I feel our classes have grown so close and have somehow become a big family as a result. Thanks again! I still can't sleep properly from the adrenaline rush! xxx"
Susanna


Congratulations on putting together such a fantastic show!!! We had great fun taking part in it and the audience loved it!
Lynne Stander, Romford

 

So pleased it was such a success, it is a great feeling to know that I was part of it (all be it a small part). I don't know how you coped will the stress of organising something like that not to mention remembering all those dances.
Irma Gregg, Romford

 

Just a brief note to say how fantastic the show was, how brilliantly you organised it all, and thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to dance in it. I can't wait for the DVD now to sit down and enjoy it in its entirety :-)

 

Just a short note to congratulate everybody concerned in producing a very entertaining show.
We had heard of rifts, disagreements and tales of pending disaster, but if any of that was true it certainly wasn't evident on the stage. The costumes spoke for themselves, the changes between dances were seamless and the music was fantastic and appropriate
Richard & Susan Morris

 

"How wonderful to see all ages, sizes & abilities - it was really lovely to have the mix but still have everyone do a professional brilliant job".

Aunt: "those moves really loan themselves to the fuller figure on stage, it's exaggerates the moves so you can really see them well - brilliant to see such confidence & ability in people".

Well done on a fantastic show i throughly enjoyed the experience . When can we go again. ?? So pleased for you well done.
Jacqui Doyle

Just a short email to say that I had a ball it was great fun and no nerves at all. I had the most amazing time it was so enjoyable.

How wonderful it was to see all the performers so
happy and smiling and really enjoying themselves!!!


Wow! what a wonderful experience. Words cannot express how I feel. I am on cloud 9, and still buzzing with excitement. Everyone was friendly and looked out for each other.
Would I do it again? oh! yes! I certainly would.
Which only leaves me to say thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for such a wondeful experience.
A first class show with first class people.
Congratulations Sitara, you must be so proud!
Best wishes,
Sandy x – Aswan


Thank you so much for a truly amazing show. You must be exhausted having achieved such a fantastic outcome after all the hard work that was poured into this production), you must feel extremely proud. The dancers, the costumes, the special effects and choreography were all wonderful. Eastern Roses were perfection itself. We were so proud of our daughter was a part of the show (Jessica in Fragrance of the East).
Jan and Martin Boughtwood

POEM;
A week has passed since the curtain raised,
On beautiful Angels with wings we gazed,

To a ball we were taken where a precious stone,
was stolen by Underworld villains in masques,

So a journey began through an ancient land,
To Egypt full of sparkle and gold,

To the Sultans lair of Turkey the jewel did pass,
Onto toe tapping Spain skirts swishing in delight,

Through India it went bright saris alight,
To sultry Tahiti grass skirts next to firelight,

To the lair of the Underworld it took,
To exterminate foe and take back the jewel so bright,

To the finale they shone all angels so bright,
A glow of their achievement that night,

The curtain came down to close off the show,
But the journey of dance lives on in our hearts and their souls.

Colin Chalmers
