Thank you so much for the class, it´s just amazing! So much information, motivation, authentic  feeling, space for personal creativity, individuality, and at the same time your professional leading! I love it! In last few months I have a problem with motivation, I wanted to end up with dance, but your videos and your new attitude to dance gave me new motivation to continue, go deeper and search for my own style and attitude which was quite scary for me in the past. I am so happy I have heard about you and now be a student of your online dance school, though only recorded, as it´s quite hard for me to have time to dance when your lessons are online. 

Once again, simply the best: Joana doesn't just teach dance or movement. She provides the cultural context and social aspects of the dance that inform the student much more richly than most teachers can -- her personal experience as a dancer in Cairo brings with it amazing depth.

Dear Joana Saahirah, I am speechless, how an online Course can be that touching! Energy flows not taking care of any miles-distance. Your structure is great, the way you announce the program of the lesson, how you guide us and how you let us free, it is such a good dose. Thank you also for giving theoretical Input to get some knowledge of Egyptian Dance history and Culture..and all of the Bonus material! Today, for me, was a clue lesson. We really dig deep in this journey :-). I thank you from and with all my heart for your honesty and the energy you put in it, in us, your faith, your trust, your love., your wisdom and your clearness. May this pure love come back to you in more than 1000 different ways. Not every great dancer is meant to be a great teacher too, but some of them are...happy those who find them ...thank you for sharing what your heart is burning for.

I am one of those super lucky and happy person = Joana's student and I can't thank her enough for all that she's shared with me, taught me, for her huge help to find my difficulties not only in dance but also in life. I am so excited to continue our path and see what comes next, because I never know what to expect but I am completely sure it will be a magic discovery, a precious experience, a light that will guide me in my way called Life. I can't recommend Joana enough. You just ought to try her classes, and it is not what I am saying, but what comes from the deepest part of my heart .

Yes, simply the BEST. She pours out so much love, passion, light through the screen to all students and it inspires me so much. There had been doubts, confusions in my head but she is the one saying exactly what I need to hear to awaken myself. Now I feel my heart is more open for every movement. Her classes change the landscape of my dance basically. She is such a blessing  to the education of Egyptian Dance today.

 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.

As always, Joana's courses are of a matchless quality! Both on the personal and on the dance level. (...)

Oh my God! We go deeper and deeper in Egyptian dance but also in our way of thinking. It's completely crazy! I think we´ll never be the same. How can we? I'm so proud to subscribe to these classes! Amazing, wonderful... words aren't enough to describe this soulful Egyptian Dance and life trip with such inspired and experimented teacher and with beautiful and kind dancers. it's just magical. I have leaved the class with such satisfaction, recharged, full of positives projects, ready to bite the life to full teeth. Hey world, HERE I AM!

This course was absolutely great. In each fully packed, rich lesson I learned more about egyptian Dance movement and context than in my past 20 years of oriental dance!

So many insights on a theoretical and personal level touch me everytime I participate. Thank you for your loving energy!

"Before starting to study with Joana I first fell in love and felt inspired by her dancing, wherein I found something "mystical" that makes me always think that Federico Fellini would have put her inside one of its magical movies.

Joana, as a teacher, is truly a gift.
She teaches without any reservation and she never stops giving, I'm always impressed about the amount of amazing contents she manages to give!

She conceived a peculiar "format" for her courses, that makes the process of learning fun, enjoyable and stimulating, because she gives, in addiction to the dance classes, many things to discover, little by little. I always have the feeling I am a child with a box full of colorful toys to play with.
What I'd like to underline among everything is that Joana has the will to give her students fundamental tools for a more autonomous development of the dance. That it also means that she teaches at a "multilevel" way, always entering the field of self development.

I personally feel I have, with her, the chance to make order among everything, not only among the huge world that concerns "oriental dance", because Joana spreads a direct knowledge of the Egyptian culture, not only studied, but truly lived and absorbed beneath the skin, so she can put, and she wisely does, the dance teaching into contextualization; but also, I feel I'm developing a deeper understanding of what  dance technique is made of.
I personally realized that Joana let´s you "return" to the dance technique, as kind of something your body belong to, something it deserves and it should explore, to feel more. 

Definitely huge and well beyond expectation."
