"I have to confess I´d never seen an Oriental Reda Style dance before. I´m enchanted with so much gracefulness and beauty! This course was also my introduction to the Egyptian Culture, its traditions, way of living, and influence on the dance.

I paid close attention to the Reda Style choreography our teacher, Joana, carefully broke down in detail and, right now, the only challenge I´m dealing with is rhythm and a few of the most intricate movements.

Grateful for this course that, aside from dance technique and choreography, also teaches a bit of the wisdom and ethics "Reda Oriental Dance" has to offer.

I recommend this course to all my colleagues who wish to know the "magic" of Oriental 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."
