Hip Motions - September 2021
“By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer’s best of weather And autumn’s best of cheer.”
Greetings and Salutations!
September is a thirty-days long goodbye to summer, to the season that left everybody both happy and weary of the warm, humid weather and the exhausting but thrilling adventures and vacations. September and Labor Day are always associated with the return to school for most families with children. Maybe this fall focus on YOU?
In September our regular classes resume after our fun look into a modern Egyptian Style of Dance in our August Supplemental Class. We had a blast diving into Cairo and learning all about this new dance and music style that has many western influences!
We might also look a little different in September, yes, our new business name is Hip Motions. We are so excited for this new chapter and thankful for all of the support we have received this past year that has allowed us to grow! This change allows us to continue to provide you the Best Belly Dance Classes and Academy in Brevard and the possibility for more!

More Sha’abi
12 minute video on the modern music style coming out of Cairo - Mahraganat.
Our September Belly Dance 201 Classes feature a brand new Sha’abi Choreography to be used in 2022 performances. It is our teaching philosophy that our students understand the cultural & social connections and roots of all aspects of Belly Dance. Sha’abi is a more modern (70s & 80s) offshoot of Baladi in dance style and music. In modern Cairo (post revolution 2011) a new style of music and dance has emerged - Mahraganat. Rooted from Baladi and Sha’abi this style is more electronic/modern and in Egypt very controversial.
Join us in September for some fun modern Egyptian dancing!

What People are Saying
“Nadirah Johara is a great teacher. I took beginner classes up to advanced/professional with her & they were fun, interesting & entertaining. She knows her stuff - we learned classical belly dance, folklore & modern belly dance as well as different types of music from different regions. She’s great working w/students.”
“I have been doing classes with Hip Motions since January 2021. Love the positive vibes and learning different movements from Nadirah. Most definitely would recommend Hip Motions.”
“Nadirah Johara is an excellent instructor and a lovely dancer too. Nadirah has studied several different styles of belly dancing. She is educated in dance and teaches numerous techniques along with props used during performances. She has also studied in Egypt. I recommend her...she is fabulous”
“Professional. Kind. Graceful. I took belly dance on a whim and was SO fortunate to have Nadirah as my teacher. Her classes are so supportive and FUN. As a mom, my belly dance classes were my weekly getaway. And, I learned how to dance, in a way that traditional dance classes, like ballet, tap, and jazz, never taught me.”
