About Us
Sahara Dance is a boutique dance studio dedicated to celebrating the joy and beauty of Middle Eastern dance, and creating a community for belly dancers.
At its best, belly dance looks effortless, graceful and engaging. Though it may look easy, learning to belly dance beautifully is challenging. Diligent study and practice are necessary to train your body to respond to the music with ease and grace. Sahara Dance prepares students to reach their individual dance goals, whether they include simply having a fun workout or eventually performing on stage.
Whatever your goals, we recommended that students take technique classes at each level for at least 6 months. All classes are built on a standardized curriculum based on class level. Because each instructor has different strengths and styles, taking multiple classes at each level with different teachers will allow you to expand your knowledge and improve your technique.
Repeated exposure to class material will also help you to build the movements into your muscle memory and experience the nuance of the music and each movement. Practice, patience and consistent class attendance are essential to getting the most out of your dance experience.
The timeless art of belly dance is practiced by women and men of all ages. Sahara Dance seeks to be your home for Middle Eastern dance. We hope you will join in the many community events we offer, such as performances, costume trunk shows, student salons and workshops.
We hope to see you shimmying with us at the studio soon!
Yours in dance,
