What Awaits You…
Connect. Dance. Relax. Reignite Your Soul
Imagine stepping away from the daily grind—no emails, no deadlines, no responsibilities. Just you and a vibrant community in a Moroccan retreat designed for movement, connection, and renewal.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a circle of like-minded souls, all here for the same reason—to dance, connect, and indulge in an experience that nourishes the body and spirit. Mornings begin with restorative yoga, awakening your energy as the sun rises over our stunning retreat space. Then, lose yourself in the art of belly dance, refining your skills under the guidance of experienced instructors, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned dancer.
After an exhilarating dance workshop, surrender to pure bliss—unwind in a traditional hammam, let skilled hands melt away tension in a soothing massage, or, if adventure calls, explore the vibrant and famous souk El Had, where treasures await in the form of intricate fabrics, shimmering jewellery, and exotic spices. Or perhaps you'd rather ride along the golden sands of the beach, feeling the ocean breeze as you glide on horseback or a camel, embracing the thrill of the moment.
As the sun sets, the magic truly begins—intimate performances by guest stars, the hypnotic rhythms of a live Gnawa music show, and the chance to immerse yourself in the celebratory Chaabi dance.
And to top it all off a finale gala night where you’ll have the chance to take the stage, share your energy, feeling the power of movement and community.
This is more than just a retreat—it’s an experience of self-discovery, joy, and connection. Are you ready to dance, celebrate, and embrace the magic of Morocco?

Meet Your Hosts
& Teachers
Flavie, a professional bellydancer and instructor structor from France, is celebrated for her powerful hip technique and effortlessly fluid style, blending strength and elegance in every performance.
Her dance journey began at a young age, fueled by a deep passion for movement and expression. With a degree in education, Flavie merges her teaching expertise with years of experience in belly dance. Her dedication has earned her numerous championship titles in prestigious competitions across multiple countries.
Based in Paris, Flavie teaches regular classes, guiding dancers of all levels to refine their technique and discover their unique expression. She also travels internationally, sharing her expertise at workshops and festivals, inspiring dancers with her signature style and deep connection to the art of belly dance.
Born and raised in Syria, Miramar’s passion for dance started before she could walk. With over 13 years of experience, she has immersed herself in Middle Eastern dance forms, including Oriental dance, Dabke, Samai, Tarrab, and Bedouin styles.
Her professional journey spans the Middle East, Brisbane, and France, earning her recognition as a celebrated performer and instructor at prestigious events like the Woodford Folk Festival, Mosaic Festival, Luminous Lantern Parade, ODM in Spain, and Baladi Fest in France.
Miramar’s style fuses her Syrian heritage with the authenticity of Oriental dance and the richness of traditional movement, reflecting her deep cultural connection and lifelong devotion to the art
Hey, I’m Irena! I’m passionate about dance, culture, and creating memorable experiences for people who love to explore new places and dance. I lived and worked in Morocco for years, co-owning an award-winning surf and yoga hostel in Tamraght. That experience taught me the joy of bringing people together and showing them the beauty of this region through adventure and connection.
Now, I’m combining my love for travel, culture, and dance into various holidays and retreats for avid dance enthusiasts or first-timers wanting a safe, creative, and fun space to reconnect with themselves, their love of life, and explore this passion with new like-minded friends. Morocco is close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share it with you
Words from our students…
Miramar is a fantastic teacher. She is attentive to the capability of all her students and instinctively adapts lessons to be inclusive to everyone’s ability and skill. Lessons are fun and vibrant and highly social. They are competitively and fairly priced due to Miramar’s extensive knowlege of the different type of middle eastern dance. Lessons focus on particular dance styles and are open to all people. As a guy I felt included in my interest for middle eastern dance and music. Definitely going to enrol in future classes and hope I see people who read this review there as well!

Emna
I participated in the Dabki and oriental dance workshop with the very kind talented Miramar. I really appreciated the professional side and the very clear explanations of Mira, she was able to make us evolve in the techniques and gestures during the workshop while keeping a great friendly and warm atmosphere and above all very fun. We danced well, shared good times but also laughed a lot. A super good time, which reconnected us with our body and our emotions. A big thank you to Mira and see you soon in the next workshops.
Josephina
