What if your workout became the most delicious part of your day?

You've always wanted to learn to belly dance. To move your hips effortlessly, feel confident dancing to music, and embody that magnetic, sensual energy you admire in other women.


You want to feel strong, toned, flexible, and beautiful in your body — but you're tired of workouts that feel like punishment.


And as a spiritual woman, you want your movement to mean something more than burning calories.


You want to feel connected to your body. To your intuition. To your feminine energy. To the woman you're becoming.

I'm Ready To Start Belly Dancing

What's Inside

Your workout and your spiritual practice in one, the divine feminine way. Everything you need for feminine fitness and belly dance training, with no dance experience required.

DANCE

DANCE

Your belly dance training, in both Egyptian style and tribal fusion. Shimmies, isolations, undulations, waves, circles and flow, plus drills to sharpen your technique and tabla rhythms to play with. Easy-to-follow choreos you can record yourself dancing afterward, and a twerkshop for when you need to shake it all out.

CONDITIONING

CONDITIONING

Everything that builds a dancer's body: barre, ballet, side booty, core, glutes and flexibility. These classes lengthen and tone you so every move in your dance classes looks effortless.

THE FEMININE MAGIC

THE FEMININE MAGIC

Classes weave in affirmations to keep you aligned, channeled movement and Indian-inspired mudras. Womb breathwork drops you into your center before you move. Each class builds on the last, so the whole membership becomes an initiation into the most feminine, embodied version of you. Each theme comes with a playlist we made for it, so the vibe stays immaculate.

Fitness that feels as good as it looks

What if getting stronger, more flexible, and more confident didn't have to feel like another thing on your to-do list?

Dance brings together so much of what our bodies crave: movement, music, coordination, creativity, and joy.

And the benefits go beyond the dance floor.

Research suggests that dance-based exercise can improve body composition, mood, and body image. Combined with targeted conditioning for your core, glutes, legs, and posture, it becomes a beautiful way to build strength and reconnect with your body.

Because the best workout isn't necessarily the one that exhausts you. It's the one you love enough to keep coming back to.

Sahara Rose

Sahara Rose

Tribal fusion belly dance

Sahara Rose began dancing at 3 and grew up around Middle Eastern dance in her Persian culture. She fell in love with belly dance at 15 after seeing Shakira and danced on stage for the first time at 16. In her early 20s she found tribal fusion belly dance in India and went on to train with top teachers in India, San Francisco and Hawaii. She infuses it with her own channeled movement, inspired by the Goddess and the snake, and this fusion of tribal, belly, Indian and pop-and-lock became her spiritual practice and her homecoming.

She has danced in and choreographed several of her own music videos and sings Afrobeats fused with Middle Eastern and Indian sounds. She's also a divine feminine teacher, host of the Highest Self Podcast with over 70 million downloads, and the 5x bestselling author of books including Maybe This Love Story Is Really About Me. Ten years ago, she was one of the first women to share twerking as a spiritual practice on social media.

Nikka Nadia

Nikka Nadia

Egyptian & Oriental dance · Yoga therapist

Nikka Nadia began dancing at seven, training in modern, jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop and African dance. At sixteen, while recovering from a ballet injury, she discovered belly dance, and within weeks she was substituting for her teacher. She earned a BFA in Dance with a minor in Somatics from UW-Milwaukee, moved to Los Angeles, and has since studied Egyptian and Oriental dance with master teachers in LA, Egypt, Lebanon and Turkey, including a six-month residency teaching in Dubai.

After years of rigid technical training and lifelong self-criticism, belly dance saved her during one of the darkest periods of her life. When she began dancing it on stage in her late twenties, she felt at home in her body for the first time.

Today Nikka is a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist who teaches yoga, Pilates and belly dance in Los Angeles and online. She's also the founder of Sacred Spectrum Movement, a non-profit bringing yoga therapy, somatics and dance to neurodivergent, diverse abilities and recovery communities.

Why We Created Temple of the Hips

We didn't create Temple of the Hips because we wanted another workout.
We created it because we experienced firsthand how profoundly dance can transform the way a woman feels in her body.

For us, belly dance has been so much more than learning beautiful movements. It's been a way to reconnect with our sensuality, express emotions we couldn't put into words, and rediscover our strength, confidence, and joy.

We wanted to bring together everything we love about belly dance, ballet, conditioning, and spiritual embodiment into one beautiful practice you can do from anywhere.

A place where you don't have to choose between getting fit and feeling feminine.

Where you can become stronger in your body while falling more deeply in love with it.

Love, Sahara & Nikka

P.S. We're both in our mid to late 30s and in the best shape of our lives. This year Sahara dropped 8 pounds without the intense weight-lifting workouts she used to do. Nikka's body toned, tightened, lifted and took on a whole new shape. Temple of the Hips is the exact workout that got us here.
