Who is Sheyla?
I was encharmed by oriental dance in 2004, and from the first moment I began to devote myself to it intensively and then professionally. Thanks to dance, I can pass on my experience to the other students and fellow lecturers, I help to prepare dancers for competitions, create group choreography, teach theoretical lectures and research Egyptian folklore. Thanks to dance, I can travel around the world for performances or classes and this way get to know entire world. I have already traveled to the following countries with and for dance: Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, India, South Korea, South Africa...
My courses and seminars are always full of information and I don't forget the uniqueness of each participant's speech. In addition to seminars, I teach special weekend seminars, intensive dance bootcamps, private lessons, regular lessons and I also train dancers and groups for competitions and performances. This job really fulfills me and I always try to prepare everything according to the wishes of the students.
Dance has become my mission, and therefore I also focus on education and popularization of oriental (belly) dance in the Czech Republic, and I am creator of many projects that aim to present these dance styles in their artistic and authentic form, support and connect the dance community and in also to introduce these dances to the public through performances or by teaching a courses for beginners. Such courses have health effects for women of all ages.
