What students are saying

about our online classes

"Shahrzad is an amazing dancer and teacher and doing such great work supporting native Egyptian artists and bridging the gap between the dance in Egypt and abroad. Can't recommend her enough!"

"There’s a class, either recorded or live, for every aspect of the dance - from conditioning; to rhythms and musicality; choreographies and the insights to go off and build your own; to guest teachers and lifestyle as a dancer talks; this is such a comprehensive platform and as a working mom, trying to also keep up with her passion for dancing, this is such a worthwhile investment and one that I happily recommend to anyone.
