"I loved this course.
You´ve managed to take such a complex subject and break it down so well, into theory and practice. You have created tangible things that I can actually work on. It's not fluffy and surfacy, it's deep and real.
It's been a wonderful journey of self discovery - that WILL impact my dance and the connection was made even clearer after completing the course.
This course has helped highlight areas that need attention and work, areas which I probably never would have realized were so vital without the course content and the structure of it. Also, I must say, I very much appreciate your attention and loving/real replies to comments.
Sometimes, i felt strong resistance to share certain things, things which i wouldn't have normally shared (so this course forced us to be real already in the comments section), and you as a teacher and creator have a big responsibility on how you reply... as it's such private information, deeply rooted, that you could really make both harm or help a persons very directly. And I must say, you have been amazing. My admiration for you has even grown after taking this course. You are truly a beautiful human being that wants to help others and in turn make this world a better place.
I´d recommend this Course to other dancers because it addresses many of the things we struggle with. In a world so overly masculine, so fake, a world lost in the ego. We have lost touch of individuality, to the connection of our soul. I think this is incredibly important as its something all of us are struggling with in one way or another - dancers and not dancers. It has a very important and crucial message for the modern time. "

“Thank you so much for the amazing course “Shimmy Wonderland”! I love this Course. Learning shimmy with beautiful music was really fun and I never experienced Tarab when I attended any classes (even in real life) before. I learned not only techniques but all the possibilities that I can use shimmies for. Also, Joana teaches how important it is to find our unique dance style, not to be a copycat. It was a huge eye-opener for me and gave me the courage to start experimenting and creating! Since I started to create and experiment my dance, I became more confident in real life. I started to create new things and take actions to achieve my goals. Ex.1-I volunteered as an English-Japanese translator at my company. (I have been wanting to use my English for work but I was always scared of being judged by people before so I never used my English.) Ex.2-I am finally organizing my small belly dance event! (I have a dream to become a professional belly dancer. I used to just wait for somebody to make the dream come true for me. but your words encouraged me and I decided to create my own show! A big thank you, Joana. I´d totally recommend this Course to dancers. Absolutely yes! Your classes change dancers' lives. I cannot thank you enough.

Before starting to study with Joana I first fell in love and felt inspired by her dancing, wherein I found something "mystical" that makes me always think that Federico Fellini would have put her inside one of its magical movies.
Joana, as a teacher, is truly a gift.
She teaches without any reserve and she never stops giving, I'm always impressed about the amount of amazing contents she manages to give!
She conceived a peculiar "format" for his courses, that makes the process of learning fun, enjoyable and stimulating, because she gives, in addiction to the dance classes, many things to discover little by little. I always have the feeling I am a child with a box full of colorful toys to play with.
What I'd like to underline among everything is that Joana has the will to give her students fundamental tools for a more autonomous development of the dance. That it also means that she teaches at a "multilevel" way, always entering the field of self development.
I personally feel I have, with her, the chance to make order among everything, not only among the huge world that concerns "oriental dance", because joana spreads a direct knowledge of the egyptian culture, not only studied, but truly lived and absorbed beneath the skin, so she can put, and she wisely does, the dance teaching into contextualization; but also, I feel I'm developing a deeper understanding of what dance technique is made of.
I personally realized that Joana lets you "return" to the dance technique, as kind of something your body belong to, something it deserves and it should explore, to feel more.
Definitely huge and well beyond expectation.
Dana Moreno
(Colombia)
I´m very happy to have met Joana on my Oriental Dance path.
In her courses and method I´ve found answers to several needs and questions.
For instante, I´ve learned about the essence of Egyptian Dance, what is essential and what makes it magical.
Everything Joana shares in her courses fascinates me: the concepts she introduces, the exercises she proposes help you find, recognize, and build the unique dancer each of us carries within.
In all of her courses, I find an integrated and permanent way to develop self-empowerment, Egyptian Dance technique, and the essence of each style, all of it backed-up by the great richness of Joana´s experience in Egypt and her studies with the greatest musicians and Egyptian Dance masters. Furthermore, she does it all in a fun and vibrant way.
I´m deeply thankful for her generosity and for her willingness to create work that brings real evolution in her students.
Each course at Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School is a meeting with myself, with my personal powers and unrecognized gifts.
Basically, I´m witnessing major growth in my dance and, above all, I feel happier and able to express who I am.
Zoe Ni
(China/USA)
Yes, simply the BEST. She pours out so much love, passion, light through the screen to all students and it inspires me so much. There had been doubts, confusions in my head but she is the one saying exactly what I need to hear to awaken myself. Now I feel my heart is more open for every movement. Her classes change the landscape of my dance basically. She is such a blessing to the education of Egyptian Dance today.
Madelyn Farr

I loved "Shimmy Wonderland". In addition to the shimmering choreography and the breakdown of the shimmy variations, there was an assortment of video goodies that enhanced the program. The Bonus MasterClass “Shimmies as a Healing Tool” was particularly engrossing and useful. I completed the challenge to do a daily 20-minute shimmy session for a week to achieve clarity and grounding around a decision needed to be made and to facilitate the release of a belief or pattern of behavior no longer serving me. In all, this is a course that goes well beyond standard technical instruction and choreography. Like all of Joana's offerings, you're treated to a rich body of relevant information, in this case, on the merits of shimmies as a choreographic enhancer and as a tool for self-development and healing - plus all of the bonus treats that bring the student a wealth of insight into Egyptian Dance. I appreciate Joana's evident commitment to her students' progress. She added live classes to the curriculum to meet the particular learning needs of her students. Joana shares her time, her care and knowledge generously and as her students, we're all the better for it!
I reaped several benefits from the Course.
First, I've developed my stamina and dexterity through a daily practice of shimmies as instructed in the course. My participation in the Shimmies as a Healing Tool challenge revealed the power of shimmies to generate energy and resolve when I'm lagging or unfocused. As a result, I plan to continue the practice for that purpose. I particularly appreciated the lesson on creativity which was edifying as it strongly validated my own choreographic process. Last but not least, the course increased my appetite to learn more about ED which I plan to do once I submit this course survey.
I'd gladly recommend the course to other dancers who are interested in a multi-layered approach to learning. The application of shimmies beyond their execution strictly as a dance move is intriguing. This course is designed to engage the body, mind, heart, and soul. Any committed student taking this and other courses with Joana will always gain a great deal in more than initially meets the eye.

I am loving the courses I've taken at Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School, they are comprehensive, challenging and fun at the same time.
My dance feels more authentic because it's more authentically ME. Joana leaves no stone unturned and attends to every detail in one's life that needs attention in making them a better dancer.
Joana is an extremely knowledgeable and generous teacher who gives 150% to her students. In addition to providing rich detail and respect for the history and pioneers of the dance, her school provides a path to self-love and empowerment through her unique and caring teaching style.
Yara Sultan
(Savannah, USA)
She is a really *magical* dancer and teacher, my understanding of Egyptian dance (and my dance) has been trans-formative, deepened, since taking ONLY her online classes! She develops each class personally based on your needs that are visible (and invisible) to you. What you think you know, you really have no idea! I don't even know how to begin without writing a novel. I can only imagine what her live classes/workshops are like! Not only does she develop your dance, but your understanding of Egyptian history, the people and their culture, and learning the heart of it all... the great secrets to this dance you don't hear about in your normal classes. Time is spent in EACH class developing not only your dance but your understanding of the magic behind it all. Sometimes in very unusual but exciting, and interesting ways.
Alana Hessa Svetlana Lastochkina
(Russia/Spain)
And that is true! I am one of those super lucky and happy people = Joana's student and I can't thank her enough for all that she's shared with me, taught me, for her huge help to find my difficulties not only in dance but also in life. I am so excited to continue our path and see what comes next, because I never know what to expect but I am completely sure it will be a magic discovery, a precious experience, a light that will guide me in my way called Life. I can't recommend Joana enough. You just ought to try her classes, and it is not what I am saying, but what comes from the deepest part of my heart.

What our Students say about
Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School
Cecilia Zúñiga
(Costa Rica)
"I definitely recommend the school to all dancers and women who want to work not only in their dance but also in their personal development.
Everything I have learned at Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School has changed the way I perceive everything that surrounds me, and that influences my dances and my life in a very positive way."
Jian Sakakeeny
(China)
When a dance friend from the Philippines sent me the link to Joana’s Facebook Live chat on her Baladi Awadi course I didn’t realize that I was going to hit a jackpot that would enrich my dance life forever.
The more courses that I take, the more I get hooked.
Before long, I have signed up 8 separate courses and most recently the annual membership for the signature course. But why?
First of all, what appealed to me was the holistic approach that Joana takes to each of her courses, i.e. physical, emotional, and spiritual. And it makes total sense to learn how to integrate these elements to enhance the soulfulness of the dance, a passage leading to the divine.
Secondly, all the courses that I have taken were well designed and really focused on each of my problematic areas such as shimmies, hands and arms, hips, traveling steps, how to interpret lyrics, etc. As the result, my vocabulary for each area got greatly expanded and my techniques, strengthened.
Thirdly, Joana’s dance style is creative in such a way that really resonates with me.
Furthermore, Joana is incredibly knowledgeable about not only Arabic music but also non Arabic music.
Since I started working with Joana four months ago I have created three choreographies. I noticed a dramatic difference between the ones that I created before and the new ones after Joana’s school.
The creativity that Joana emphases so much has become a crucial driver in my approach. Suddenly I feel very liberated in my application of the techniques and concepts that I have learned.
Joana often says that education and application go hand in hand. And I found that the creativity she instilled in us can really make the application take off.
I recommend Joana´s School to anyone because of the transformation that I have experienced in my choreographies and performances.

"There are many kinds of teachers and then, there are special teachers, like Joana Saahirah, who carry the power of transformation on their skin, and that shows, it passes on to all her students; because the best teaching we can offer someone is the love for what we do.
To study with this prestigious dancer and teacher is to embark on a beautiful journey without end; without return; a very intimate and deep trip. Her classes are unmatched! Her world is magical, she´s magical."
Anna Winter
(England)
"I definitely recommend Joana Saahirah´s School to other dancers!
The lessons are very well structured, the content is about the dance, about culture about the art and what it takes to be an artist- a human being, who is passionate about the craft. What I really like to mention is that you have a lot of passion for the dance and for the art- and that is what I can feel- and what people feel.
What I love about your classes is the special connection of all the positive benefits dance has-and how important it is to feel good, to feel confident- that is what dance shows you and what you show in dance - it is vice versa.
Your style of teaching is motivating - get out of the comfort zone-move your **s-and practice.
I like that you show us a way how to understand what it takes to be a confident human and a confident dancer. There are so many bonuses and resources as well.
The classes are a great opportunity to develop - as a dancer and as a person. And you are there for us and give us support and feedback.
Since I joined your classes, I feel much more confident and also curious."
Linda Hadj

"This year, I subscribed to 4 courses at Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School and, honestly, her courses are amazing, I recommend them 100% because she teaches you the dance technique and choreography but the Egyptian Culture behind the dance, the mentality behind each movement.
Furthermore, she develops you on a personal level - emotionally and psychologically -, something that can help you evolve in your dance and in your life.
If you´re wondering if you should join her school, I´d say “don´t think twice, join it now!"
