Student Showcases | Sahina Bellydance

Dancing into the Light and Dancing into the Dark Student Showcases

Thank you so much to everyone who made Dancing into the Dark 2017 such a success! The next show will be Dancing into the Dark 2018.

About the Student Showcases

Chaya Leia and Sahina began the student showcases, Dancing into the Dark (fall) and Dancing into the Light (spring), in 2011 to give their students a space to share what they have learned in bellydance classes with their friends and family. Over the years some of their advanced students including Melissa, Aralia Pearl, and Lisa Wall, have been mentored into the professional realm and now teach classes of their own and when possible are contributing teachers to the student showcases. Chaya has been on break from teaching since 2014 so currently Sahina is running the showcases.

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.
