Find increased confidence, grace and health through the ancient art of belly dance! In this beginner class you will dive into the foundational technique of this folkloric dance form and learn a bit about the culture and history of the dance. In every class we will break down the basic isolations used and then put them together to create graceful and exciting movements to music. We will also work with finger cymbals on a regular basis.  There will be sets available to borrow until you purchase your first set. (I highly recommend the Arabesque or Nefertiti from Saroyan Mastercrafts: SahiraBellyDances.com/SaroyanCymbals )
 
Twice a year we will learn a new choreography to perform at our student showcase in June and December.

I’ve been watching your YouTube videos for years- and loved the prenatal videos when I was pregnant with my now almost 3 year old. I continued those after he was born and he would fall asleep in my arms, and still loves dancing with me everyday. 🙂

Sahira is an amazing teacher and one of the most talented, exciting bellydancers ever! She makes learning this beautiful dance form fun and informative all the while getting a great workout. You leave class feeling confident and more comfortable in your own body. She's also the nicest, most genuine person you will ever meet. Highly recommend her as both a teacher and performer. You will not regret even a second spent in her presence.

Amy; Phoenix, AZ

I LOVE Sahira's classes! I've taken classes with her both online and in person. The classes are fun and no matter what your skill level, Sahira makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the room. Her skills are second to none and on top of that, she has a great sense of humor and a ton of patience. What more could you want? I can honestly say I wouldn't take belly dance lessons from anyone else!

Amanda; Houston, TX

The best way to start your belly dance career is in Sahira's class! It's a technique driven class that's fun and all happens in a safe and loving dance environment. I've taken classes with Sahira for years and not only has it toned my body muscles but also my brain 'muscle'! She's a fun, supportive, and knowledgeable instructor! I love her and will continue taking her class! EVERYONE (male and female) should take her belly dance class.

Noha; Houston, TX

Sahira is not only a graceful dancer, she is an amazing teacher. She knows how to break down the steps into simple moves which makes learning an enjoyable experience. Sahira also adds cultural explanation to certain steps and songs, and that makes the dance very interesting. She genuinely cares about her students, and everytime I go to her class I feel transformed into a world of joy and trust.

Jala; Houston, TX

I have taken bellydance classes from several instructors over the years, but never stuck with any of them as they seemed uninspired, disorganized, or otherwise did not teach in a clear and concise manner. I have learned under Sahira for 2 years and counting now, however, in both her level 1 and level 2 classes. She is energetic, interested, well-organized and ready to help with any questions or concerns and really brings the class together as a community. She's very accessible, open, interested and always introducing new challenges and techniques. I highly recommend her as a teacher!

Jiji; Houston, TX

What I most appreciate about Sahira as a teacher is that she creates an atmosphere wherein everyone feels heard and appreciated for simply showing up! You will also be given an opportunity to ask questions to figure out what you are doing and she will step-by-step elucidate and demonstrate it in a way that makes it click. Take a class...you won’t be disappointed. If something is not clear, she welcomes questions...you will feel more feminine and empowered at the same time!
