What People Are Saying:

"I started the intro stuff last night after a gloomy first day back at work and it put a smile on my face the whole evening. So freeing. Such fun. And my back feels great this morning. Thanks girl!"

 "Nurjahan's class is literally AMAZING and soooo helpful and chill but epic. Seriously, I've taken classes here and there and have a background in dance. But how she teaches is so kind, affirming, and adaptive. So yeah, 11/10 recommend"

"I started her course and was SO DELIGHTED — It feels exactly like if a friend in real life was teaching me. Right down to "oh, can you see my feet?" in the intro. It's very welcoming and accessible."

Our Story

 

My mom taught us belly dance as a source of empowerment and healing as soon as we could walk. It's been passed down that way in East Africa for generations.  

 

I dreamed of sharing our unique practice with the world—until a bullet stopped me in my tracks. I was shot in the leg with an assault rifle in a random attack at age 21.

 

My recovery was grueling, and even though I thought my dancing days were over, it was belly dance — with significant accommodations — that helped me get back on my feet again.

 

Now I share our practice as both a skillful, sensual dance, and as a way to rebuild passion, strength, and resilience—no matter what you've survived.
