It's time to MOVE!


This drum solo will get you turning, shimmying, locking, dropping and just generally moving and working up a sweat! Expect traveling combinations, spins and turns, lots of exciting isolations and some serious attitude in this sassy intermediate to advanced level number.


But learning the moves is only part of the adventure...


Once we have the movements under our belts we will move beyond them to begin to add LIFE to the choreography. Now we will talk about emotion, breath, texture and theatricality - the elements of the dance that make it really juicy.


The last part of our journey will take us deep into the heart of the dance. We will dive into that illusive "this time with FEELING!" moment we all encounter and are often challenged to attain.




I've had the honor and the privilege over the last 19 years to work with hundreds of dancers of varying levels of experience and I've found one thing to be universally true.


The dancer with heart is the dancer that entertains and engages the audience most, no matter their level of technical expertise.


Want to be that dancer? I invite you to join me for this one-of-a-kind course and take a giant step towards achieving your goal!


WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING


Sahira, your Move Choreography Course has given me so much more than a 4 minute choreography. The short video clips of combinations and technique were easy to access quickly for that 15 minute break in the regular job moments. The quantity of combinations in each week were not too many to overwhelm. I also loved that you identified areas that may need more detailed breakdown, I mean when you said “contract this muscle here and then this muscle here”, it was awesome!! All of these little bites of practice brought such an awareness to my dancing overall. I’m so much more aware of where my weaknesses are that I’m able to correct as I’m moving and I can feel the improvement. It makes me giggle a little. In retrospect, the choreography was just the tool to improve my overall dance quality. I thank you for that and hope to do it again!

Well hello there, fabulous dancer! I'm Sahira. 👋🏽

I'm a life-long performer and have dedicated the last 21 years of my life to empowering others through the beautiful art of Belly Dance. I am a lifelong musician and head over heels crazy about the finger cymbals. I am a self-proclaimed technique and music geek, love anything to do with bunnies and could live off of spicy Szechwan food for the rest of my life.

I also direct the BellaDonna Dance Company, voted Houston ’s Best Belly Dancers by the Houston Press and am founder and director of Houston’s premiere Tribal Style troupe, Urban Hipsy.

I love belly dancing! Seriously… I did not ever set out to be a professional belly dancer, but since dedicating the last 21 years of my life to it, I cannot imagine doing anything else. I was an engineer by training before starting my first belly dance class – which just goes to show that anyone can learn this beautiful dance!

What I love best about teaching – and I’ve had the opportunity to work with students all over the world – is watching a student grow into their dance – from that first “ah-ha” moment, to seeing them dance with a confidence that they never thought they had. This dance is so wonderfully empowering and can be enjoyed by every body.

I look forward to sharing the dance floor with you soon!
