Joana Saahirah World

I truly enjoyed this course and I found it to be a beautiful and intensive dive into the key concepts around arms, hands, and emotion in Egyptian Dance. Joana deals with the subject with clarity and minute detail and her passion really shines through all the time. This course delivers so much more than beautiful choreography and wonderful music, it invites you to explore the depth and very essence of Egyptian dance.

I enjoyed this course so much! The music was beautiful, love it, also the choreography and its meaning... and the way you explained everything in detail during the classes and the extra bonus videos was very good. I found it so rich, that decided to take the “twin course” Basic arms and hands technique” I think, no matter your level, as a dancer, it´s very good to go back to the basics and practice them from the beginning, to improve your dance. And having the opportunity to take classes with a teacher, dancer and person like you is a privilege and an honor. I’d recommend it 100% to any dancer as part of their training, practices and become better in technique and in the expression of themselves while dancing and in life. If so, tell me why you’d recommend this course and what you gained from it This course has taken a lot from my inside, my expression. i am very expressive and shy at the same time, so sometimes I try to hide my feelings to avoid being judged. Your courses have helped me to realize I’m the first one judging me. In my dance I feel it has helped me a lot to go back to the beginning, when I started dancing, reminding me how important the balance, the consciousness of our weight, the directions, the focus, are in the way we move. I look at myself dancing now and see how a simple movement can change (180 degrees) being aware of it all, and the difference, not only for who’s watching , but for the dancer, perceiving and feeling her dance full of meaning. As told before, found it so helpful and important, that decided to take the “twin course” to be able to go deeper.

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.
