Testimonials

"For anyone thinking of taking up bellydance teaching or someone who has been teaching but without a set plan, then this package is invaluable... I found the whole package impressive and only wish it had been around when I started teaching." Ayesha. Editor Bellydance Oasis Magazine 2008 

"I have had the fire in my belly stirred up again with Shemiran's beautifully presented course for teaching bellydance...This was the perfect way as a working single mum to get my dream up and running. I found Shemiran's course inspirational and easy to pick up. It has a warm and kind feel to it and is very intelligently put together...Thank you Shemiran". Lisa H. 2008

"Shemiran is a rare teacher who brings so much more than being a beautiful dancer to her teaching. She is approachable and creates a great sense of joy and uniting of the feminine spirit. She moves beyond just the physicality of the dance and sees its positive, powerful energy. Her website is amazing too, a great resource on belly dance, health and celebrating womanhood. Shemiran is a treasure". Siobhan J. 2008

"Shemiran has a very grounded feminine approach to the dance and a wealth of experience. Shemiran breaks down belly dance moves into families and their related music for easy consumption. This means the novices master music interpretation before they know what it is to fear!" Nicole S. 2008

"As a person that has never before taken any type dance class, I have found Shemirans classes a total joy to attend. Shemiran has developed techniques in her teaching that break down all movements into simple, applicable theory. Being able to visualise each motion clearly in the mind before attempting it, ensures the learner greater success. This in turn creates a growing confidence and greater pleasure in each class. Shemirans class not only involves movement of the body. It is a gathering of women. A spiritual gathering of all different women whom for one whole hour, can reconnect with themselves and feel beautiful and sensual whilst having lots of fun and laughter". Kim Z. 2008

"Thank you so much...you are an inspiration to femininity and dance". Anastasia M. 2008

"The dance classes were such a wonderful experience - they were liberating, inspiring and just plain good fun". Sarah W. 2008
