2025 Year of You!

Do you know about the Year of You? We will embark on the 7th edition of this year long virtual mentorship program February 1st, 2025...and check out the amazing instructors! I love that all three of next year’s guest instructors have advanced degrees. Siobhan Camille of Greenstone Bellydance is an exercise scientist, Badriyah has a Phd in astrophysics, and Zara has a Phd in quantum physics. All three are passionate about dance and generous teachers. I am excited to dive into topics like injury prevention and dance optimization with Siobhan, Golden Era stylization and history with Badriyah, Mahraganat, shaabi, Baladi and Egyptian folkloric nuances from Zara! 


The Year of You is also about connection and community. During our year long program we also meet up virtually for happy hour, movie nights, and other activities.


What participants are saying about this exclusive program:


“I primarily signed up to Year of You in order to help focus and motivation in my personal practice. The one-to-ones with Aziza and the Yousie nights help to hold me accountable and keep me focused on my goals, and the weekly group classes and monthly workshops with guest teachers are incredible training. I’ve really seen a difference in my dancing. I immediately signed up to do Year of You next year as well.”

Rebekah, UK

“I have found a real home in Aziza's Year of You program, so much so that I've enrolled for six years! Aziza's caring and supportive mentorship has helped me deepen my own dance practice, continue learning, and she's made me a better teacher to my students, too. I also really value the community of fellow dancers and guest teachers — it's a judgement-free space to encourage each other to be our best. Everyone’s dance is important. "
