About

I love belly dancing! Seriously... I did not ever set out to be a professional belly dancer, but since dedicating the last 16 years of my life to it, I cannot imagine doing anything else. I was an engineer by training before starting my first belly dance class - which just goes to show that anyone can learn this beautiful dance!

What I love best about teaching - and I've had the opportunity to work with students all over the world - is watching a student grow into their dance - from that first "ah-ha" moment, to seeing them dance with a confidence that they never thought they had. This dance is so wonderfully empowering and can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life. I've gained balance, confidence, poise, and come to appreciate my body and who I am... and you can too!

People have described my classes as "clear and easy to follow", "approachable", "a fabulous workout". My science background comes out in my attention to detail and the way I break the movements down into their smallest component parts.

I am thrilled about this new chapter in my teaching career and look forward to helping others all over the world to learn and love this dance that means so much to me.

See you on the dance floor!

It has been a joyful experience dancing with Sahira. I always leave her studio smiling and often giggling..I bellydance more for myself and sense of well being (& bring out more earthy femininity in my movement) than to be a regular stage performer but often many do. I had felt confident in a Khaleegi performance she choreographed and was so glad I did it. She welcomes questions and is so observant and aware of what musculature when describing how to do a movement or give feedback on yours to improve it, yet she also lets you customize some moves to your own preference or ability until you can get the hang of it and then layer on arms on top of what your hips and feet are doing (especially in a private lesson). Sahira can also fine tune any choreographed routine you designed as I have heard (I have not had the opportunity yet to do so), which opens up levels of creativity and helps you create a polished product for a performance. I do it more for dance therapy and to feel bette physically but it is an option and would be honored to have her bring an idea to fruition someday. She shows how dance is an art form and encourages her students to believe in themselves. Thank you and blessings, Jiji

Sahira is an inspiring instructor, and her love of teaching is evident. From her clear methods to fun choreography to understanding students needs, she brings enthusiasm to the class and creates a cheery escape from any mundane day. She additionally promotes a truly special community of dancers and a sense of belonging in the classroom.

Sahira was my first Bellydance instructor and she is wonderful! She was able to explain the technical aspects of the moves and when something was difficult she could break it down. Her music selections are fabulous and she also taught a bit of history and culture in class. I will always love Bellydancing and Sahira is a big part of that. In addition to excellent teaching skills Sahira is warm and friendly and builds confidence in all her students.
