"Many of the weekend's teachers are also going on within the next couple of hours, and today's jawdropper may go to Wendy Broadway (MD): the giddiest bellydancer in the area title is now well-cemented. :)~ And she looks HAWT!! :D"

Brandon F. Johnston, Bellydance Nation Review, Art of the Belly, Ocean City Maryland March 2012

“...A staple of tribal fusion outside the beltway. Not to mention, as a yoga and bellydance instructor, she is a jaw-dropper when it comes to physique....showing how flexible and crisp her hip/pelvic articulations are...”

Brandon F. Johnston, Bellydance Nation Review, DCTribal's Sharon Kihara Show  2006

"Your performance was amazing, it was so visceral, I loved watching you!" 

Audience Member July 2011

"Crispy hips, Wendy!"

Suhaila Salimpour, 2006

“Northern Virginia's WENDY YOUSSEF may have re-defined the use of playfulness... Wendy is one of the most fluid and happiest bellydancers on the planet. She's always finding a reason to smile about something. ... Wendy showed her love for bellydance, as well as showed off her seductively flexible set of lower abdominals, to a challenging drum solo from Hossam Ramzy. She owns Transitions Yoga & Dance in Sterling, VA and has been a ''goddess-send'' for making the bellydance and tribal scene grow to leaps and bounds outside the Capital Beltway.”

Brandon F. Johnston, Bellydance Nation Review, WAMEDA's Annual Hafla 2007

"As my first dance instructor, Wendy encouraged when appropriate and pushed when needed. She provided me with many opportunities, stage performance, troupe membership, instruction, first solo.... For that, I will always be grateful."

Ayperi , Northern Virginia

"You were my first instructor and the one who led me out of the life funk I was in, made me believe in myself and love me again...that is huge...your teaching and your words influenced everything I did and do, and your friendship was and is priceless."

Cybelle "Deedee", Savanna GA

"Music is what drives and inspires our dance, yet it is one of most neglected and least understood aspects of our dance education. Since Wendy is both a musician and a dancer, she is able to help dancers not only to hear what the music is saying, but to see it with their eyes and feel it in their bodies."

Katayoun , Mosaique Language and Cultural Arts

"Best Class Moment: during the Saturday warm-up of Killer Suhaila Glute Squeezes hearing Na'la's whiskey-velvet voice whisper across the room to Wendy Youssef, 'Hey! Wendy! I can't explain it but I'm suddenly very attracted to you right now!'"

Kestrel Av, 2006

Recognized for "...her tireless commitment to integrity and building ATS in the region, and so many other contributions."



Marta, Washington DC 2005

"Easy going, but at the same time, strict and technical" 

                 Danielle Smith, VA

"...all of our private talks about life in general that you and I shared and the advice that you gave that always seemed to be perfect. The dancing was just an added bonus to being around you. You were the reason I was at your studio, not the dancing. "

Amanda Collins, VA

"Wendy Youssef and Troupe Arabesque turned Casablanca into an exotic rainforest display when they incorporated real live baby boas into their routine!!!! Their vivid turns and steps signified an amazing routine that kept all eyes glued to the dance floor."

Yucy El-Banan, Bellydance For Life 2006
