Review from Jordana Bint Zweena, who attended Tribal Revolutions 2007
My first seminar was with Samira and it was all about sword. Samira gave great background information, handouts,
and explained what to look for in a sword. Then showed us a million places to balance it and taught some
beginning/intermediate movements. My favorite was a simple rotation of the sword on the wrist, which I am still
working at mastering. Also she taught us a bunch of really awesome floor moves and lastly she gave a beautiful
demonstration. This was my first with Samira and I think that out of all of the instructors, I could relate to her style and
teaching methods.

Belly Dance Basics
at The Yoga Center of Columbia
Belly dance or Raqs Sharqi is a fabulous low-impact exercise that can
be enjoyed by everyone!
Versions of belly dance have been a part of folk dance, religious
ceremonies and family celebrations since before written history. This
ancient art can trace its origins to the dances of Northern India, the
Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean before it
became the solo performance art we are more familiar with today.
Learn the basic steps and isolations for belly dance. Enjoy authentic
traditional and modern music along with rich cultural information
Basic vocabulary and moves will be taught, which will include lifts,
drops, undulations, slides and circles. We will build on that knowledge
and put together mini combinations to get you dancing!

professional belly dancer and has over 17 years fitness and movement
teaching experience.
