Private Tuition

Private Tuition

Who is this aimed at?

Ideally, dancers will have taken a minimum of 6 months of Egyptian dance classes, however, I particularly welcome intermediate/advanced level, either about to launch a performance/teaching career, or who are already teaching and performing as amateurs; or more experienced teachers and professional performers who wish to increase their knowledge.

Beginners (6 months+)
Teachers & performers
Amateurs ready to transition to professional
Professionals wanting to learn and develop

Where is it held?

Shema can either welcome you to her studio in Egypt (Nuweiba) you can study online, or book individual sessions at any international event where Shema is teaching or performing (there may be a booking fee with the organisers, ask for information).

What can I study with Shema?

Below are some of the elements which we can study, however, the list is endless! If there is something you particularly want to work on or have seen in Shema's dancing, then please email her or phone to discuss it in person.

What days is the programme available on and how do I book?
