Our classes and private instruction are geared toward dancers of all ages. Zahirah Noor's Studio is located in the beautiful Memorial City DanceSport Center(formerly Danse Royale).

I (Zahirah) have been teaching and performing for over fourteen years, in Ballroom and Middle Eastern Dance Fields. My original student/teacher venue for this art form was in Montgomery, Alabama, where I performed as a soloist and a troupe member. When I moved to Houston, and prior to the opening of the school, I taught the “belly dancing” program for the Spring Branch Independent School District's continuing education dance program for five years.

I currently teach their Beginner Ballroom and on occasion their Beginner Salsa classes in addition to my belly dance classes at the MC DanceSport Center. I love to choreograph routines, and count it among my favorite things to do. My most recent training includes instruction with Bozenka, Aziza, Sahra Saeeda, Amaya, Gina and Mia, Leila Gamal, Jim Boz, Serena Ramzy, Dr. Mo Geddawi, Vashti and many more wonderful teachers and performers too numerous to list. I also hold a certification of completion from Delilah when I attended her intensive in Hawaii a few years ago. I believe that a good teacher is always a student.

I hold teaching certificates in ballroom dance, which includes both Smooth dances (Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango) and Rhythm dances (Cha Cha, Rhumba, Samba, Mambo). I have competed in many showcases and competitions with students in this field, as well as participating in their choreographies. Actually, that is how I met my wonderful husband, Robert. We performed our Chili Cha Cha with a twist at one of Sirrom's Gala shows.

I enjoy watching people progress in their dancing (whether ballroom or Middle Eastern Dance and the students' excitement when they accomplish their goals. We hope to see you soon in our classes.

Yours in Dance,

Zahirah
