WELCOME

I want to take a moment to welcome you to The School of Rak. In our modern-day, the School of Rak is everywhere you are, to help you Rak your life. We have so many struggles in our day-to-day lives, and I created the School of Rak to lead others through the healing process that I went through, using dance as a healing modality. Besides learning dance moves, there are the Four Pillars; the Mind-Set, the Heart-Set, the Soul-Set, and of course, the Body-Set. These are the cornerstones of the healing journey and I encourage you to utilize them so you an have your most Rak'n life!

Let me know how I can help you, Amira

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Helen

Dance has been very healing for me after I suffered a traumatic brain injury, and heard that dance is "god for the brain." It's also good for the heart! Amira has a gift for teaching: she always makes me feel comfortable; even gabbing me chair for support on my wobbly days! Dance is an important part of my healing journey!

Rachel Phelps

Amira is an amazing teacher; she encourages fun and happiness, and she always let you "go at your own pace." This class has made me more confident and made me realize things that seemed impossible, like performing onstage! I never thought that I could dance, but Amira helped me. It's so much fun that it doesn't even seem like exercise. Class is a positive space to help you feel better about yourself!

Holly

Belly Dancing with Amira has changed my life. I've learned to love my body and understand it better. The classes are so much fun, and Amira goes at whatever pace you are comfortable with. She is a wonderful teacher; very patient and kind. We always have a lot of fun in class. It's exciting to see the difference in mu body; it's a great full-body workout while having fun. There's always something new to learn. No matter the body-type or age, everyone can enjoy Belly Dancing.

Why Take Class From Amira?

You might feel that a dance class is simply that, and nothing more.

But did you know that dance is a form of healing for many?

I help women, who are struggling with self-esteem issues from negative programming and abuse,

heal through the power of dance, and to build powerful self-confidence, so they can Rak their world.

If this sounds like you, then a School of Rak class is the right fit for you, because this is what is near-and-dear to my heart!

I went through the healing journey, and I can lead you through it as well. This my passion and this is my purpose!

I'm known for my enthusiasm, positivity and how I nurture my students.

I was the first in the state of Michigan to be certified to teach the Goddess Workout(R), and the philosophy aligns perfectly with mine; hand and glove!

Yes, you can take any dance class, but I encourage you to give mine a try and take that first step to your dance healing journey!
