Ishra's classes are positive, supportive and empowering - a place where you can connect joyfully and powerfully with other women and yourself.  Enjoy the swirl of women's faces, the twinkling of hip scarves and laughter, and above all, the sensuous, mesmerizing movement of Middle Eastern Dance.  You will learn to be present in your body, to feel its balanced, centered strength and enhance your natural flow and grace.

With Ishra you will build a strong foundation in classical Egyptian style (Raqs sharqi) in her Intro and Beginner classes and then will proceed to learn many different folkloric dance forms from the Middle East, as well as veil, cane, zilling, sword and fusion in her Intermediate and Advanced classes. She enjoys watching her students grow, encouraging self-expression and fusion, as well as preserving traditional Middle Eastern dance and music. 

"Her true nature comes through in her dance as well as her teaching. Ishra's sensitivity shows continually as she teaches us (her students) just what is needed in the moment for us to grow as dancers and as women. Ishra loves to dance… she shines when she dances… and she genuinely loves to reach out and share this passion with others." - Phoenix (Victoria, B.C.)
