Training with Joharah continues -
now in locations across Burlington, Oakville & surrounding area.
Egyptian-style Raqs Sharqi training rooted in technique, musicality, nuance and expression.
After 20 years as a full-time dance studio, BellyUp is evolving.
The physical space will be closing at the end of June - but classes and workshops continue.
Same training. New spaces.
My approach -
This isn't about just learning choreography.
In my classes, I break things down, refine details, and help you understand your movements - so you're not just following, you're actually dancing.
Because confidence comes from understanding, not keeping up. And in Raqs Sharqi, that understanding is what allows the dance to feel expressive, musical and alive - not just executed.

Rooted in Raqs Sharqi
My classes are grounded in the art of Egyptian Raqs Sharqi - where musicality, nuance, and emotional expression are just as important as technique.
The goal isn't just to execute the movements, but to connect to the music and bring it to life.
Technique is the foundation - but expression is the goal.
