Trained in Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Modern, Hip Hop and Folk dance forms, Saadia has 28 years of dancing experience and 13 years of teaching experience under her belt. She believes dance has the power to contribute to a person’s growth in remarkable ways. Each beat of music has the potential to be translated into a corresponding step of choreography. It is the instructor’s duty to relay understanding of the choreography to the dancer, and up to the dancer to execute that step with grace and confidence. It is with these philosophies that she teaches, which allow her to portray the importance of the art of dance to her students. Believing that learning is a continual process, Saadia continues to expand her dance repertoire most recently having focused on Ballroom dance styles. She’s excited for her 5th year as an Instructor/Choreographer at AUM Dance Creations.
