Samira is a wonderful instructor - she is kind, patient and funny. Her knowledge of the American Cabaret style kept us all enthralled. She makes even the difficult concepts feel achievable. I would not hesitate to host her again for my event. Her performance was truly magical. She evokes so much emotion and her dancing brings back the true beauty in the art form that we call belly dance.
