Safira Dokos

Owner

Safira has been dancing as long as she can remember and through the years has studied ballet, tap, jazz, and  square dance.  She also has studies in gymnastics, lyrical, modern, and hip hop as well. Safira began her studies in belly dance with Halima in Richlands, North Carolina in an effort to get back in shape after the birth of her son and the form quickly became an integral part of her life.  After relocating back home to the New Orleans area in 2005, she began studying with Lady Morrighan of Boundless Fusion Belly Dance in Hammond, Louisiana and was an original member of her student troupe “Hip’notiq Boundless Belly Dance”.  She has also studied with Kryss of Crescent Lotus Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana and has attended workshops with Hadia, Yasmina Ramzy, Sahra Saeda, Tobias Roberson, and many more.  Safira earned her Level I Teacher Training Certificate in 2006.  In May of 2009, she completed level one of Journey Through Egypt, a series of Intensive Workshops in Egyptian Folkloric Dance.  She opened All Points Belly Dance in 2008.
