Review of The Dance, Volume II, by Ted Monnich of TURKU

"I have to say I am very impressed with the video. So much so that we've already mentioned it on Turku's website. The production is one of the most professional we've seen... and we've seen ALOT! We are also involved quite a bit with music and video production and can sort the good from the bad... and Carrie has definitely done GOOD. Turku's music is used throughout the video, as it is suited to both cabaret and tribal styles; both of which Ms. Konyha demonstrates admirably in her sweet, smooth style. It's 87 minutes loaded with great intermediate moves, combinations, and practical information. This is an excellent course for intermediate dancers, though, we believe dancers of any level would benefit from it. She really packs alot of information into this production"

Carrie began her dance career as a chorus line/cabaret dancer in 1986 and maintained a full time career as a professional dancer performing in nightclubs while she pursued her spiritual studies until 1992 . For the past 9 years, Carrie has been extensively researching the Spiritual aspects of movement and dance as she continues to perform and teach middle eastern belly dance. She incorporates her knowledge of the holistic aspects of the dance into her teachings. Carrie is an advocate of working with dance as a supplemental system of self healing; using dance, rhythm, music, breath-work and visualization to heal the mind, body and soul. Carrie is also a certified MEDICAL YOGA instructor.

"My love for middle-eastern dance stems from the fact that it has been used by women of all shapes and sizes as a medium for prayer, meditation, holistic healing, personal empowerment and the celebration of life for many thousands of years. Did you know that belly dance is the worlds oldest surviving dance art? To me, this endurance validates the magical qualities of the dance and tells of our eternal desire to connect with our sacred selves". ~ Keep Dancing !
