Troupe Daira

stephaniebellydance.com features Stephanie in a Turlock studio photoshoot with her troupe Daira in pink and black costumes.

Troupe Daira was established in January 2024 with these amazing women. We are so thrilled to have had even more members join us since our inception. The name “Daira” was selected by Stephanie’s (Egyptian) husband, which means “circle” and is a perfect representation of the sense of community and togetherness that we experience as a troupe. Let’s dance!

Dear Ami, Erin, Andrea, Kilolo, Michelle, Lisa, Diana (and Roxana not pictured),

It’s January 2025, and I want to wish my beautiful troupe a happy one-year anniversary! We have learned and accomplished so much in the last 12 months. I am so proud of you and very excited to see where we go from here.

To all of my students: thank you for allowing me to share my love for the music, dance and culture. I am inspired every time I see you in class. Here’s to more laughter, more dancing and more togetherness!

With shimmies and sparkles, Stephanie
