A	Alexandra Murphy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bobbie is a beautiful dancer and an incredible teacher. In her studio, she created a safe and welcoming space for all dancers. Her classes are well structured, her choreographies are fun and challenging! I have learned more in 2 years as her student than in 6 years with other teachers. Cannot recommend her enough!
H	Holly Pattison on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bobbie is a wonderful dancer and fantastic teacher. She skillfully coaches her students with a joyful attitude. It's wonderful to see people improve their dance skills under her experienced guidance, and I love how her classes are so inclusive and welcoming. She clearly has a deep respect for Middle Eastern Dance, and I appreciate how she shares her significant knowledge about the art. I love dancing with Bobbie, and I only wish that I had found her sooner!
C	Chris Thompson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had the opportunity to take some Zoom classes with Bobbie this summer. It's always a treat to learn from a dancer I admire. It was a joy to be dancing as my studio was closed due to Covid 19. Bobbie was generous with her talent and I really enjoyed her teaching style and technique. I'm a fan of drilling so I was right at home. She encouraged all of us to explore moving on our own and gave us gentle pushes outside our comfort zones! If you want to add another level of technique to your dance, or challenge yourself to learn from someone new, join Bobbie online. She makes Zoom fun and personal and you won't regret it!
J	Janet Pelley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I highly recommend classes at Bashirah. Bobbie is the most skilled dance teacher I have ever had. I have studied belly dance for 30 years in the US, Sweden and Canada. Bobbie is truly gifted at breaking down and explaining the moves of this beautiful dance form. Not only is her dancing the embodiment of the music, she does an excellent job of teaching us to channel that music through the movement of our bodies. I began dancing with her one and 1/2 years ago after being sidelined by back trouble. Her technique is very protective of the back, so I was very grateful to be able to return to dancing with her. Bobbie and my classmates are loads of fun, making dance class the highlight of my week.
T	T Be on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've taken Bobbie's classes since 2017 at both studio and rec centre locations. She is a wonderful person and experienced teacher. She keeps her own skills up to date and understands many styles of middle eastern and belly dance and music. After a long day, I always feel great being in her class. We get optional opportunities to perform, which I didn't expect I'd do, but found them enjoyable and a great way to get to know a choreography well. I've been able to overcome past frustration with dancing, as Bobbie teaches in such a manageable and fun way. Each week I look forward to the supportive environment where we experience beauty, flexibility and strength through dance.
J	Jessica Tara on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bobbie is a ray of sunshine and a fantastic teacher. I've been taking dance classes with her for four years and we are always learning something new. She accommodates different abilities but also pushes us to do our personal best. When the pandemic hit, she quickly adapted to teaching classes online, and despite not being the studio for 10+ months I don't feel like I've missed out on too much. Bobbie's positive attitude makes her a joy to learn from and I look forward to when we can do performances again.
L	Lizy Gipson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When I first began teaching practicing to teach Zumba 9 years ago, I rented from Bobbie. The studio has full mirrors, a great PA system and a TV/DVD system as well. I started teaching there and moved only when my classes grew bigger. My experience was so great that I referred other instructors that were starting off to her! I came back to rent from Bobbie again during the pandemic as she offered a safe space for me to work on my recovery after a shoulder injury. She was very generous in working with the times I needed to adapt, let me make up time when I was not able to attend and has always been supportive of being physically and mentally healthy in dancing. I will always return to Bobbie's studio when I need a safe and secure place as she is an empathic and fair business owner who 's love of dance shines through in everything she does. If you are considering a space to rent, you won't be disappointed working with Bobbie! :)
A	Annie Kung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bobbie is a very professional business owner and dance teacher. She cares about her students from the bottom of her heart, and I constantly feel her warm & friendly welcoming vibe every single time I’m around her. Her dance studio is bright, cleaned, easy parking, and fully equipped. I would highly recommend her as a dance teacher as well as her studio space, if you ever needed a nice space to practice or hold your own classes!
