Dancing into the Light and Dancing into the Dark Student Showcases

Thank you all for supporting us at the Dancing into the Dark 2018 show. We will see you again in the new year!

About the Student Showcases

The student shows, Dancing into the Dark (fall) and Dancing into the Light (spring), generally occur twice a year. Chaya Leia and Sahina, with help from Jericha, began the student showcases in 2011 to give their students a space to share what they have learned in bellydance classes with their friends and family. Chaya stepped back from dancing in 2014 and Sahina has continued the showcases since then. Over the years some of Sahina's advanced students including Melissa, Aralia Pearl, and Lisa Wall, had been mentored into the professional realm and occasionally joined the shows as contributing teachers.

When I think of what I could do when you first introduced the choreography and how our performances ended up in the show I can only be impressed at how far you brought us in class! You are so thorough in your drilling of the choreography and yet take time to answer individual questions and review all the details of each move. You have a very positive attitude and bring out the best in your students with encouragement and flexibility. The passion you bring to your subject is obvious and infectious.
