I think I can say that this is the most beautiful trip of my life. I am transported to a place that I cannot describe. I am at a loss for words… I want to stay in this state for the rest of my life. Thank you, Simona, thank you. It was priceless.

Traveling with Simona is a multifaceted experience: dance, sightseeing, of course, but always a bit off the beaten path. With her, you don't "do" a country; you encounter a culture, a people. There is no tourism in the disrespectful sense of the term; small groups encourage discretion. Her natural charisma and great simplicity enable her to create connections effortlessly, and the local artists she collaborates with are treasures. Learning the dances becomes an opportunity for a human adventure, especially if you embrace a bit of the unexpected!

Discovering the Balkans off the beaten path through dance, song, and music: each trip organized by Simona is an unforgettable experience that nourishes both the mind and the heart!

Through dance, you access Roma culture in its all and, far from the usual touristic tracks, the experience is just magnificent, authentique and complete. The sucess of such experience is linked to the quality of organization (a program that balances perfectly between classes, events, dinners all together, free time and events such as concerts or celebrations) but mainly all people who are part of it.

It was a trip deep into the heart of Turkish Romani dance and culture packed with wonderful experiences of people and places, and filled with warmth and fun and joy and laughter - and lots and lots of dancing! We were able to spend time with, and learn from, brilliant musicians and exceptional dancers, and gain an insight into people and places we might never otherwise have encountered. The energy of the group was fantastic, with strangers turning quickly into lovely new friends. My feet are sore, my mind is full of unforgettable images and my heart is full. Thank you to Simona and all her beautiful friends for the chance to be a part of it all.

An incredible adventure, marked by a benevolent and supportive communion, for those who give and receive. Each day was a journey of dances, under the guidance of exceptional teachers. A special mention for the "happiness" of having shared this beautiful path with dance sisters from all walks of life. A beautiful rainbow in the heart as a memory.

I really recommend Simona's dance seminars. I have participated in four of these : Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania/Greece and Montenegro during 2014-2018. The seminars are about dance, but we also learn a lot about the culture of different countries. I enjoyed every moment and I am looking forward to the next seminar.

I first danced with Simona in 2014 in a dance workshop in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was a very nice experience. When she announced a dance retreat in Bahia next year, I was sure I would participate! We danced a lot and had a lot of fun! It was a wonderful mix of vacation, tourism and dancing!! Then, I attended other cultural and dance retreats in Macedonia/Serbia, Albania/Greece and Turkey during 2015-2017. On these trips, we dance with local people, learn about their dance, culture, music, food.. It is also an opportunity to relax and visit beautiful places. We also have dance classes with local teachers, very well chosen, which makes the whole experience even more interesting and magic! I really recommend Simona's dance workshops and seminars!

This dance and music trip was such an interesting way to discover Istanbul and meet local dancers and musicians! Going from workshops to parties, we also enjoyed the Roma festival of Hiridelez that celebrates the spring time! Each day brings its surprises and new activities, you just have to follow and enjoy, that's really confortable! We had the opportunity to meet with great dancers, to discover very interesting cultural places, and to explore the Turkish Roma dances. Thank you Simona for organizing this beautiful and authentic trip!

I can easily say, the one week with you and Nikos on the Greek folk dance tour was the absolute highlight of the year, and maybe many years...

I discovered not only the island of Spetses, which I would never have visited without this opportunity, but also the local music and dances, and culinary specialties. At the same time, I reunited with Simona and Nikos, wonderful dancers and teachers, who imbued the group with their kindness, care, and attention. Additionally, I integrated into a group where everyone had their own originality and uniqueness! Beautiful lessons in life, tolerance, and openness to the world! Thank you for all of this! Unforgettable!

Week rich in EVERYTHING. I really loved everything, this magnificent country, the hotel, the sea, each person in the group, the music, the lessons, and all your messages between two dance steps ...... ( and the "burek" for breakfast !!!). I am especially deeply touched to have been able to be in the presence of a person as radiant as you.
