CLICK HERE for info on our instructional video programs "I walked into my first class with Amira in October of 2003. I was an astonishing 62 pounds heavier then. I felt awkward and out of place as I stood waiting for the class to begin. I just knew in my heart that I wouldn't be very good at this but I had to try. From the moment she took her place at the head of the class she had my undivided attention. She never made me feel awkward even when it was hopelessly obvious that I didn't know what I was doing. She just encouraged me to keep going. Never apologize for being who you are. Embrace it and dance. Since then my waistline has dropped and my confidence has risen. She helped me to remember what it was like to feel strong and sexy at the same time. I have had many opportunities to watch Amira dance and she never ceases to absolutely captivate me. She is as knowledgeable in technique as she is passionate about her art form. She is a capable yet patient teacher and a mesmerizing performer. She possesses an inner strength that is both calming and empowering. " Sheryl Ison-Student, Windsor, CA - Troupe Member and Performer What will these classes do for you?

Amira’s command of dance technique is superb and is based upon a dedication to the classical forms of Egyptian Raqs al Sharki. Her dancing is supported and enlivened by her deep study of Egyptian culture, both ancient and modern. In terms of physical preparation and technique, she demands much of both herself and her students, but the result is superlative technique in performance. Her choreography is exciting and creative. Her background as a professional musician gives her an unsurpassed sense of how to match movement to music, and this is evident in the sure artistry with which she creates dances both for herself and for others. Other things that distinguish her are her unusually highly developed skill as a drummer, her professionalism and business experience, and her unselfishness and openness as a person." --Kirk Templeton, Wind Mountain Institute /Martial Arts trainer/ Middle Eastern Percussionist For professional dancers, you will also have access to: 28 years of sales and marketing experience You will learn how to get restaurant gigs and negotiate your price You will discover how to market yourself on someone else’s dollar You will see how you can build a costume wardrobe on a budget You will learn how to avoid performance disasters so they NEVER happen Where to find all the best: information, supplies, music and so much more!
