Hey there! I'm Sahira.

I’ve been obsessed with belly dance and finger cymbals for over 20 years, and my greatest joy is helping dancers step into their confidence, power, and joy through this transformative art form.

My early career took me around the world—from living in a tent and performing at Renaissance Festivals to becoming the first instructor ever to teach improvisational tribal style at Ahlan Wa Sahlan, the largest belly dance festival in the world, in Cairo.

For the past decade, I’ve focused on creating an empowering online dance home where dancers of all levels can learn at their own pace, feel fully supported, and experience the magic that happens when technique, community, and mindset come together. Here, dance is about so much more than steps—it’s about confidence, connection, and celebrating your unique beauty.

MEET TAMARA

Before joining the Belly Dance Journey, I felt like I was just spinning in circles with my dance practice, and not growing my abilities like I wanted. Now, less than a year after joining the membership, I am really growing and making progress in my dance!

But more importantly than all the great content, I love that I never feel judgement within the Journey community. I love learning from and getting constructive feedback from the community and I cannot tell you how much I enjoy the live zoom classes. They are huge for my growth. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

~Tamara


MEET AMANDA

It is not an exaggeration to say that The Belly Dance Journey Membership changed my life.

When I met her I was at a low place personally due to life and career changes, and had been doing some dancing as an emotional anchor, but Sahira’s teaching opened my mind to the fact that the only things stopping me from becoming “a dancer” were my own limiting beliefs.

I've accomplished some major milestones in the Journey, including my first live performance after 10 years off stage, and the very first choreography I ever made on my own. The confidence I have gained from being able to feel safe sharing my vulnerability in this membership has translated to confidence within my local dance community too!

~ Amanda

The live classes usually take place on Saturday mornings at 11:15 am central. All classes are recorded and uploaded to your membership, so no worries if you can't attend live.


MEET CATE

Our community is a safe place to try new things without fear of judgment or ridicule. We can freely share our fears, insecurities and struggles and find we’re not alone!!

I was amazed to discover the incredible diversity in this community and how welcoming it is for dancers of all ages and levels of experience, including older dancers!!

Sahira is one of the clearest teachers I’ve ever come across and her enthusiasm is off the Richter scale! The way she structures her classes and tutorials always keeps me growing, because she breaks things into digestible steps and also provides exciting challenges that invite me to keep stretching into new areas. I always feel enlivened and energized when I come out of a live online class even if I felt tired or down going into it.

~Cate

MEET YASMINA

Recently I was thinking of retiring from dance. It was so depressing. But later I realized that I needed dance in my life and decided that I was going to make it my priority again.

I love the Journey! There is so much inside and new content is added every month. There is something there for everyone from beginner to advanced levels - classes in technique, props, and various dance styles, as well as informative classes on editing music, setting goals, and more.

I have fallen in love with dance again.

Thank you Sahira for all you do, you have brought joy back into my life.

~Yasmina
