For more than two decades, Sahara Dance has been a place to learn, perform, and grow together.
Whether you’ve taken weekly classes, danced in a workshop, performed on stage, or joined us for Under A Desert Moon, you’ve helped shape this community. Over the years, we’ve built something else: an incredible collection of classes, performances, and teaching that deserved a home of its own.
That’s why we’re so excited to introduce the Sahara Dance Living Library.
It’s a place where our community can continue learning, practicing, and staying connected – wherever life takes you.
What is the Living Library?
Think of it as a digital home for everything that makes Sahara Dance unique.
Inside, you’ll find two growing collections:
Dance Training
If you’re looking to deepen your technique, build confidence, or keep dancing between classes, the Dance Training collection is designed for you.
Inside you’ll find:
- Rhythm studies for dancers, with live drumming
- The complete Foundations Curriculum
- Signature replay classes
- New lessons added over time
Whether you’re taking classes every week or dancing from home, you’ll always have something to explore.
Performance Collections
Dance isn’t only something we practice – it’s something we experience.
The Performance Collections bring together more than twenty years of Sahara Dance productions into one place.
You’ll be able to revisit the complete Under A Desert Moon collection, enjoy selected Sahara Dance Caravan performances, watch special productions from our archives, and return to favorite performances whenever inspiration strikes.
For dancers, these performances become another way to learn – watching musical interpretation, group dynamics, stagecraft, and artistic expression unfold over time.
Why “Living” Library?
Because it isn’t meant to stay the same. Unlike a traditional archive, the Living Library will continue to grow. New trainings, performance releases, and future productions will be added throughout the year, giving members something new to return to again and again. As Sahara Dance continues to evolve, so will the library.
Who Is It For?
The Living Library was created for every kind of dancer. Maybe you live nearby and want extra practice between classes. Maybe you’ve moved away but still miss your Sahara Dance community. Maybe you’re just discovering various styles of Middle Eastern dance and want a thoughtful place to begin.
Or maybe you simply love watching beautiful performances and learning more about the music, movement, and artistry behind them. Wherever you are in your dance journey, the Living Library was created to meet you there.
Why Join As a Founding Member?
Founding member feedback will help shape in the Living Library during this soft-launch. We’ll be asking members what you love, what you want to see more of, which teachers we should feature for future content and more. Please make your preferences known as we want the collections to evolve in response to the wishes of our founding members.
Plus, members receive early access to all future Sahara Dance productions!
Join to support your home studio and help guide the Sahara Dance digital legacy.
More Than a Collection of Videos
At its heart, the Living Library is about staying connected.
Connected to your practice. Connected to the music. Connected to the performances that have shaped Sahara Dance over the years. And connected to a community that believes learning never really ends. We hope you’ll return often, discover something new each visit, and make the Living Library part of your own dance journey.
