A Note from Zoh'ra

Study with me!

Teaching is my love and passion. It is my  honor to share this beautiful dance form with you. Graceful, elegant, funny, sensual, cute... there is room for all expression within this dance.

Ready to take your performance seriously? Join Zoh'ra's Sunday performance class to learn a new choreography each session, focusing on a different aspect of Egyptian dance or fusion, or skill! This session featured a zils/sagat (finger cymbals) choreography - see its debut at the next hafla!

 

Ongoing Class Schedule

All students have the opportunity to perform in bimonthly "haflas" (dance parties) for friends and family, and featuring visiting guest artists!  Participation is always optional, but you may just find that you have an untapped diva waiting to emerge!!  For more information on the upcoming hafla schedule, please visit Events
