Anja Samim
Dance builds bridges between different cultures, tells stories and brings people closer together. As a trained dance instructor and performer, I specialize in Middle Eastern Dance, Raqs Sharqi and Arabic Folklore Dances.
In my Dance Fitness classes I combine oriental dance movements with cardio workouts and a lot of fun!
As part of a colourful Afghan-German family, it is my dream to save Afghan Dance from being forgotten, to take it out into the world and hopefully one day to bring it back to its homeland.

"Liebe Anja,
ich war im Januar bei dir in Leipzig zum Bollywood-Workshop. Ich bin von der Gute-Laune-Choreo und deiner schön klaren, humorvollen Art zu unterrichten sehr beindruckt."
