What Students are Saying...
Dear Shamira,
I fell in love with belly dancing the first day I danced with you in Kirchner Dance Studio. I thought it was so much fun and I loved the exercise. It was a great experience for me.
It is a far ride for me. I live about 40 minutes away. I thought that I would try to dance closer to my home.... Not thinking that the teacher would make that big of a difference...WRONG! I am very happy to have had that experience because I now know how lucky I am to have been blessed with your class.
I can't begin to tell you how much I have come to appreciate your beautiful style and grace, your professionalism and how much fun I have learning the dance. You teach in a clear and precise way that I can follow and enjoy. I will be willing to travel whatever distance it takes!!!
Once again, Thank you for your talent and for sharing it with me.

Shamira,
I've really been enjoying your classes. I have attended some bellydance classes in the past that made dancing feel like a chore, and I knew something was wrong. Your class revives in me the natural feelings of joy and relaxation and reminds me why I liked dancing in the first place. So thanks - I appreciate your work and especially your calm approach which allows the dancing to feel safe and natural and so much fun.
Best,
Erel
