Testimonials

I highly recommend Sohaila’s belly dance classes as the best way to learn to bellydance and become a performing artist yourself. Sohaila will break down each move and teach you how to fluidly create those moves into the most beautiful dance art of all time - bellydance. I have taken years of group lessons and a few private sessions with Sohaila and I’m always amazing at how much she shares with all of us to ensure we dance beautifully.

Sohaila has it down! It is fantastic to learn directly from her in an intimate class setting. Sohaila generously equips us with her knowledge of not only correct belly dance technique, but also her insights into successfully using our entire BODY.

I love Sohaila's belly dance classes. She takes the time to break everything down and explain everything in detail for us. I learn so much and feel so much better prepared in every way! She is an amazing teacher.

Sohaila has been my instructor for over a decade. She provides a consistency in quality for her classes that shows both a passion and a professionalism that I admire. She presents herself as a dancer with grace and strength that all of her students immediately wish to emulate! Even after 10 years of being her student, I am always learning new aspects of dance, fitness, choreography, and stage presence. Sohaila is very consistent in her curriculum, in her energy, and in her innovation. She provides an atmosphere where a student feels both challenged and accepted for their  less than perfect moves as they are learning the skills she teaches. This makes for an excellent workout with the bonus of feeling like you both learned something and are slightly more fit and sexy at the end of her class.

About The Instructor

I am the founder of Sohaila International, the umbrella for, The Sense-ual Woman retreats and programs, Belly dance courses and NewVo dance fitness classes. I am the author of two books on Middle Eastern dance, have created numerous signature dance DVDs, host Sohaila TV, and teach online and live dance and fitness classes. With my 35 years of dance I found a way to connect with women on a deeper level and how I do that is by teaching women to ReDiscover their own five senses and when I add the Middle Eastern authentic dance movements together they ReDiscover something more powerful within themselves this empowers all women of who they are have always wanted to be who they forgot they were and to ReDiscover their femininity again they will experience more joy more confidence and bless in their life, their confidence and their femininity will radiate from within.
