"I´ve reaped so many benefits from Joana Saahirah´s Private Coaching Programs:

Addressing my personal goals - and actually being able to talk about them.

Diving deep into the problems, concerns, issues surrounding these goals - what holds me back.

Understanding that I´m an unique dancer and expressing that uniqueness.

Summarizing it in a practical way:

1) I became able to communicate and work on my goals

2) I identified and started to work on my personal issues, with my own personal dance background and issues

3) I identified specific areas where I need to work on technique, so I can see improvement quickly, almost immediately

4) It  affected all aspects of my life, not just dance.

I've learnt a lot about myself, and am integrating what I am learning, improving on, in all areas of my life

5) Joana is really focused on the student - the prep, the class, the homework. It's impossible not to improve, grow.

As a consequence, I feel confident and empowered.

My dance is flowing, I'm connected with the music more - I´ve become very present when dancing, which has made me a better dancer.

I'm more present in the world. Much more assertive. And loving, living, my uniqueness.

I definitely recommend Joana Saahirah´s Private Coaching Programs to other dancers.

She understands all aspects of the complex, and wonderful, world of dance. Including how it is part of one's life.

She understands the dancer from the inside, not from simply how they look on the outside.

She understands the music, technique, expression, as well as the fears, excitement, insecurities, as well as the history, culture of the dance...all aspects.

For me, a dancer who has danced for many years but always felt like something was missing, she´s helped me find what was missing. I think there are many dancers who are stuck. Joana has unstuck me!"

"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."

"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."

"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´s such a blessing to the education of Egyptian Dance today."

Heather Henna Louise

"Taking online classes with Joana Saahirah has allowed me to fall even more in love with Oriental dance than I thought possible.

As a teacher, Joana doesn't teach steps, she cultivates artists.

She expects nothing less than your authentic self in every move, and she is a living example of that integrity.

Don't get me wrong, she can break down a shimmy with the best of them, but connecting you to the purpose behind that shimmy is where Joana truly shines as a teacher.

Whether in class or on stage, she is unapologetically creative and alive. Not only does she dance outside of the box, but she respects the hell out of that box, too!

From our first class, Joana has pinpointed exactly what I needed and laid out exercises and inspirations to get me there.

I truly look forward to my practice these days, which is often self-discovery.

Learning from Joana is the most serious kind of fun.

Thank you, Joana!"

"To study Egyptian dance with Joana Saahirah is to embark on an incredible personal journey — a journey of self-discovery, re-education, and expansive growth. This is not a course of study for those who are game to join the “belly dance bandwagon” or those simply looking to spice up their exercise regimen. It is not for the weak-hearted, you will find yourself nudged (gently, thoughtfully) outside comfort zones in order to ensure your progress. Warning: boldness and courage may be required!

Aimed at achieving a fundamental change in our understanding of and relationship to Oriental dance, Joana’s coursework is extensive, holistic. Her courses include (but are certainly not limited to) re-learning/re-thinking the basics of Oriental dance, understanding the soul of Egypt and its people, knowing the role(s) of Egyptian dance within cultural and spiritual contexts (both modern and historical), finding the relationships between movement, stillness, and geometry, exploring sensualism, musicality and the relationship(s) between dance, other art forms, and life.

At their core, Joanna’s private lessons are about the very personal process of unfoldment; an alchemical journey toward an artful embodiment of dance — a journey back to self, back to the artist within. Along the way, you may rediscover the tender balance between expansive motion and quiet calm. Throughout you will find an atmosphere of authenticity. Joana’s teaching is about discovering your own answers, taking your own path of discovery to the heart of Oriental dance that resides within yourself, and then having the audacity to embrace it, nourish it, share it.

In two months of study with Joana, I have experienced as much growth as I have in the last two years of studio classes. More importantly, however, is the unique synthesis, context, and connections I now understand by learning in this special way.

My very personal journey has purposefully, artfully meandered as easily from Bauhaus to Glenn Gould to the Dionysian Mysteries as it has from Baladi to Tarab to Mawal.

As Joana repeats like a mantra, “It’s all connected.”

What an incredible ride…what an incredible gift."

"The biggest benefits I´ve witnessed after subscribing to Joana Saahirah´s Private Coaching Programs were my personal development and dance technique.

I´m much more grounded and authentically myself, able to approach the way I run my life in a more analytical, detached way, instead of taking everything personally.

I definitely recommend Joana´s Private Coaching and I´ve done so to my friend, referring to it as an intense, personalized, focused acceleration that is both challenging and rewarding."

"I´m 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´m 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."
