What our Students Are Saying:

I absolutely loved the Maa'lema Baladi Course & didn't want it to end! Joana teaches & explains in such a passionate, honest & open way that it completely expands my mind to see possibilities inside myself I didn't realize were there.... I loved the way each module was introduced & broken down covering history, culture, language, emotions & dance. The course is so well structured that it guides you through in a clear & understandable way. The choreography is broken down into small sections which makes it easier to learn & it's very helpful to have the recording to practice with from front & back angle. I really enjoyed all the bonus classes & look forward to watching them as such valuable content. I like the freedom to go back & access all classes/ modules & redo /watch. I found the life coaching so encouraging & positive & it really helped me to shift my ideas & mindset to a much better perspective. I love Joana's enthusiasm, joy & knowledge that she shares so gladly & with so much love & have absolute trust & confidence in her abilities as both a teacher & a dancer. The biggest benefits I reaped from this Course were: Feeling more confident in myself - in dance & life. I listen to the music more - really listen. Connecting to my feelings more deeply & trying to express myself in my dancing. New techniques/moves to experiment with in my own way. Understanding the culture behind the dance. Enjoying feeling like a queen! Experimenting with making my moves bigger. I´d recommend this Course to anyone who wants to really grow in their dance as Joana teaches with such depth & richness & covers so many details to help elevate you as a dancer and as a person too.

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.

Alana Hessa Svetlana Lastochkina (Russia/Spain)

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.

I´ve enjoyed this course tremendously. I enjoyed the technical challenge of the dance. I enjoyed the educational aspect of the class too: ie; the skills we discussed, Egyptian culture. I was intrigued by the idea of taking up space and enjoying my sensuality. I also enjoyed how you motivated us to love our bodies today – not tomorrow "after losing 10 lbs". It was so beneficial to hear again and again that my body is beautiful as it is and to love it, enjoy it. I feel as though I am a “Boss Lady” – A Maa Lema in training! I´d recommend this course to other dancers. I’ve learned technique, history and received motivation – all very valuable. I feel as though I received a peek into an Egyptian household to understand how they express themselves and what they hold dear (ie: baladi - no rock and roll ). I also appreciate the bonuses and extra goodies. Who doesn’t appreciate getting “more bang for the buck”? LOL. Thank you again.

Celeste Evans (UK)

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.

Zoe Ni (USA)

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.

Dana Moreno (Colombia)

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.

The best thing that happened to me in 2020 in the dance field was to discover Joana Saahirah's online dance school. Joana's teachings are what I will gladly carry with me into 2021 and further as I grow both in dance and on a personal level. When I first saw Joana's video performances, I was glued to the screen. I was captured by her presence, her unique style, and charisma. Intrigued, I decided to check out her online school courses. There I uncovered immense amounts of material, invaluable insights into dance and life in general, and a very rich, deeply caring, giving person. Joana's guidance has given me confidence in my path as a dancer and a human being. She has given me tools to achieve my dance goals. And in her magical ways, she has helped me find answers to profound questions. Joana leads by example and it shows in everything that she offers to her students. The material that she gives is always rich, captivating, and enlightening. I would highly recommend Joana's school of dance to dancers of any level and of any background. There is something special and highly useful in her teachings for everyone.

Xenia Leonteva (Kyrgyzstan)

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.

Jill Shireen (Canada)

I would recommend Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School to other students, for sure. But only those who are really interested in the authentic Egyptian dance and the culture behind it. I have learned beautiful choreographies, received many beautiful learning materials, tips for self-practice, and some Arabic. I have also learned practical ways to be self-confident through your course, which is indeed life-changing. The reason I cannot leave her school is that she doesn't force her students to be her followers (totally the opposite!) She values each student's individuality and guides us to be "ourselves," in dance and in life. Taking your courses in 2020 was truly a great help for me, both physically and mentally. Literally, you saved my life...Thank you.

Seiko Endo (Japan)

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.
