Shemiran Ibrahim
I began my belly dance journey with Shemiran. She’s an excellent teacher for beginners, thanks to her structured approach to teaching. Her ability to break down and explain the movements, teaching them in manageable groups, provides a solid foundation. She also enabled me to lose my fear of improvising!
Shemiran has now put her knowledge together in a Belly Dance Instructor Certification Programme, (see the clip below). She also has a free student guide available on her website.
Shemiran is very committed to women’s empowerment and her site also has some inspiring material on that subject.
This clip doesn’t do her justice – I’ll try to get a better one!

Shemiran is an inspirational teacher, incorporating elements of tradition and exploring the power of the feminine within bellydance…
She really helped me connect back to my body, and unlock a joyous sensuality that had been too-long suppressed beneath tight-laced Western ideals…
I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to get in touch with their inner sense of womanhood
I was a student under Shemiran & I can highly recommend her as a teacher. I have had many teachers over the time I have studied Bellydance & I have found she is one of very few who focus on technique, which I find is vital to the craft of the dance.
I did Shemiran’s teacher training course in 2008 and have been teaching the method since then. I have been bellydancing since 1995 and find that even though my own technique was well received it lacked structure and pizzazz. I knew there were holes in what I was teaching and I strived to find a course that would teach me how to teach….I found it! I bought the kit and learnt Shemirans techniques. Her style is something I could relate to and her warm and gregarious nature inspired me to teach better and apply a curriculum that was proved and tested time and again. I highly recommend the teacher training course and can tell you it works beautifully and my clients have loved the ease of which they pick up the moves. Love you Shemiran you have been a guiding light. Lisa aka Najeedah
