Belly Dance 1:1 Coaching

Majda has nearly three decades of Middle Eastern dance experience and has studied and certified in a diverse range of belly dance, including classical Egyptian, Salimpour technique, folkloric and transcultural fusion, making her a versatile dancer and instructor. She has performed professionally since the age of 14 and was a principal member of the Awalim Dance Company, a transcultural fusion belly dance troupe founded by Ziah Mckinney-Taylor.

 Growing up in a Jordanian family, Majda was surrounded by the music, dance, and culture of the Arab world. She brings her lifelong immersion in these rich cultural traditions to her coaching. Majda began dancing when she was five, imitating and learning from her aunts at family social gatherings. When other children might have been watching Saturday morning cartoons, Majda devotedly watched the great Egyptian dance stars, such as Nagua Fouad and Sohair Zaki in Egyptian movies. 

Majda began learning the violin at age 10 and played in school orchestras through high school. During college, Majda returned to the violin to study Arabic music with Dr. Wael Mahalowy at the American University of Cairo during a 6-month stay in Cairo, Egypt. She also studied the qanoon (zither) to deepen her understanding of the Arabic mode system of the maqamat while in Egypt. Majda loves to play at various belly dance shows for dancers. She continues her maqamat studies today to deepen her connection with Arabic music.

Majda Anwar isn’t just a dance coach—she’s spent 17 years helping businesses grow as a certified management consultant. Her secret sauce? A strategic, personalized approach that she’s perfected in her consulting career. Majda knows how to listen, dig deep, and give feedback that really makes an impact.
