What others have to say....
"Deb Rubin is probably the best kept secret in tribal. She was simply amazing. She catered to the level of the class and never hesitated to explain moves all the way down to the nitty gritty.
One thing that she definitely has a knack for is making you like stuff that you normally don't like. For instance, one of my tribe sisters is not fond of yoga at all but enjoyed the yoga portions quite a bit. Other tribe sisters were daunted by the idea of having some yoga in the workshop but ended up loving it. Deb had some nifty little combos that built on drills that we had done. It was great. But the Sunday was the best... The focus was on health and keeping our bodies dancing for a long time. We did some hip opener exercises that were simply amazing. VERY simple to do but the end result was very impressive. Overall, I'd say that, if Deb Rubin goes in your area, whether you are a tribal dancer or not, you should definitely take her workshops."

"I saw Deb dance at Raqs LA, and I say if you are able, you should DEFINITELY study with her. I had never met her before, and she was REALLY sweet to me, which I really appreciated since I was scared out of my mind. Then I saw her dance, and the control and grace she has when she dances is just absolutely breathtaking. I remember thinking, “Damn, nice AND talented! This woman is going places.” ~ Megan Hartman, Tribal Fusion Bellydancer. "Merch Girl" for BellydanceSuperstars.
"When i met Deb, it was an instant bond. I immediately fell in love with her sense of style and humble character. Deb's dancing is smooth and flowing with an equal balance of strength and intensity. She doesn't crave attention on the stage, she just becomes what she is doing, and isn't desperate for that attention I so often see in performers. You can sense her stability and level head within her style of movement. Just watching her move and having the pleasure of chatting with her gives me the strong sense of intelligence and beauty." ~ Maria Hamer, Zafira Dance Company
"I find Deb Rubin to be a beautiful, inspiring dancer and I freakin *love* taking class/workshops with her. She really seems to understand the mysteries of the body, and I find her practice to be very educational, practical and restorative." ~ Kate "Absynthe", Tribal Fusion Bellydancer, Chicago.
Training with Deb Rubin has -profoundly- nourished my body conditioning: the essence behind the slink factor...technique, locks, glitching, AWEsome combos- one of the best teachers & extensively trained devoted dancers out there. ~ Giselle, Tribal Fusion Belly Dancer, Australia
