“Truly Amazing! Yemaya’s performance is a beautiful and powerful experience. She leaves her audience wanting more. Her interpretation of the music is so heartfelt and emotionally exciting. Yemaya;s ability to illustrate the melodious lyrics of a song is simply captivating!”  

~ Rachel George, Professional Oriental Dancer and friend.

“Yemaya could dance before she could walk! She has always had an innate sense of rhythm and grace. Having grown up with dance and music in her family environment, she has a deep pool of experience and knowledge to draw upon. She presents Oriental Dance as an art form, respecting the cultural origins of the dance with energy and inspiration, delighting audiences wherever she goes.”  

~Kameal, Oriental Dancer & Mother and Mentor of Yemaya -USA

“When something is in the blood it can’t be denied. Oriental Dance is embodied in this wonderful creation named Yemaya. She is not only a consummate performer, but a knowledgeable, patient and encouraging instructor. She brings the history of the art to her students allowing them to see into another culture. She brings grace in movement to her teaching and celebrates with her students their smallest accomplishments on the long road of learning to dance. She is a welcome addition to my life.”  

~Libby Sawyer, Student -USA

“Few times in life I have cried seeing someone dance. As a movie fan, I only cry when a movie really touches my heart deeply.... Connecting all my senses together and raising them to special levels; moments that I describe as grace; pure and lovely. And I never get tired of these movies. That describes Yemaya for me, one of my favorite movies, touching me deeply every time I see her dance. I see her singing with her movements. I feel honored being her student, I feel honored being her friend.”  

~Zohara, Student, friend and Oriental Dancer- Costa Rica

“Yemaya es una exelente bailarina y persona, es una profesora que transmite todo lo que sabe acerca de la danza oriental con una buena técnica, explica de manera clara cada uno de los movimientos, muchas veces relacionando postura y pasos con cosas que resultan familiares, haciendo que la bailarina entienda mejor. Ella es una bailarina dulce y una inspiración para mucha de nosotras.”
