What our (fabulous) Students Are Saying about our Courses::

Thank you for another wonderful course - I really enjoyed it & didn't want it to I love this Training for so many reasons: 1: The structure of the course. The way you separated it & explained in detail every little thing 2: The breakdown of movement in such a clear & understandable way, front angle, back angle, close up. Making sure we understood why & what we were doing, not just copying. 3: Explaining about the culture/meaning/mood/lyrics. I really like this. 4: Bonus material: I love all these precious tips & advice & mindset that helped shift my focus to somewhere more important.. 5: Touching on the spiritual side of Egyptian Dance. This really helps me understand why I feel something but don't necessarily know why. 6:Being reminded an hour before we start! I find this useful. 7: The love, enthusiasm, knowledge & passion that just exudes from the course ! I reaped several benefits from “Shimmy Drills”, like understanding where the movement is coming from & working up through the different speeds; experimenting with emotion; and receiving more knowledge on the culture, something that helps understand the dance. I already feel the transformations in me - I feel my shimmies have improved & I feel stronger & more confident & comfortable; I´ve learned how /when/why to do something & feeling/ thinking about it instead of just copying, and now I feel I WANT to play with dancing & emotion instead of feeling intimidated by the idea. I can't think of how the training could be improved. It was perfect! I'd highly recommend it to other dancers. Every part of the workshop/bonus is prepared & delivered with such depth, meaning, knowledge & wisdom that it fills you with inspiration & accelerates growth. Essential for anyone who wants to improve their dance.”

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.

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 personal 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.

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. Taking the course was the best decision I have ever made.

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!

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.
