TEACHING FORMAT & STYLE

All students new to the Salimpour™ format, whether brand new or advanced dancers, begin with Level 1.

Classes are structured on the Suhaila Salimpour format. Class composition includes warm-up, technique, vocabulary, musicality awareness and nomenclature. Bring your finger cymbals. Vilia is Suhaila Level 5 certified and is pursuing Jamila Level 5 as well as continuing education to maintain her teaching certification.
