Troupe Daira

stephaniebellydance.com features Stephanie's troupe Daira in Turlock wearing colorful unitards in blue, purple and red. The back row has their hands over their heads, and the front row has their hands crossed in front of their chests.

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
