Loving, Kind Words

  • “Zahra has an infectious spirit that shines through the moment you see her. She made me feel so seen and comfortable during my online session with her.”

    Student, Israa

  • “Zahra was wonderful! Students loved her and my colleagues also spoke very highly of her. Her energy was perfect.”

    Our lady of Peace

  • “Zahra was great. Her energy is infectious and the students loved her. It was also great to have the workshops in French.”

    M.S. General Crerar

  • “The students were so in awe of the ZahraMoves team. THey engaged the students with their energy and knowledge. After 3 weeks, they were able to prepare a beautiful presentation with the students for our annual recital. The school and the parents loved it. Days later after their recital, the students are still singing the songs, and playing the rhythms they learned. ZahraMoves has made a lasting effect on our students that they are already making demands to have her team come back next school year.”

    St-John Vianney

  • “Zahra led a superb Dancehall session from start to finish today. She possesses a strong ability to relate with children and has solid classroom management skills. At the start of the session she explained how Dancehall dancing began and how it has evolved. At the end Zahra led an excellent question and answer period.The students had such a great time learning how to dance from Zahra that they asked if she could return and lead more lessons. “

    G.C - Rosedale High

  • “Another successful lesson down. Zahra was so great with the students...she engaged all of them, even those hiding in the back. They enjoyed the little bit of history behind the dance and where it originated so they are actually able to connect with it. It was just a great experience over all. “

    Presteign Heights

  • “We loved Zahra. She is so knowledgeable and professional. Her gym was so hot and she never changed her energy. We learned so much from her and the kids loved seeing her. They were asking for her autograph, telling her how much they admire her, and I cannot say enough about our time with her.”
