Our members love the Virtual Studio
“I’m really enjoying the classes… really enjoy the variation of choices during the day!”
“It’s my first time doing online classes and I love this. Classes are just the right length and all instructors are fabulous.”
“When the virus broke out and everything closed, I wasn’t sure how I was going to deal with the pressure/stress. I was becoming hopeless fast. You all have taught us dance and so much more… in a word, HOPE! Thank you, Oreet!”

Frequently Ased Questions
Still have questions? Email us anytime at hello@sharqui.com.
Can I try a class before I join?
We'll do you one better - you can try a WEEK of classes! Your first week in the studio is just $5, and you can cancel anytime. So enjoy as many live or recorded classes as you like, and if you find the studio isn't for you, just cancel before the week is up.
How does the Virtual Studio work?
Attend as many bellydance fitness classes as you like! Some of our students attend a few classes a week, others attend several each day. It’s up to you!
All classes are held live via Zoom. Check the schedule above for the most up-to-date class list. You can attend live classes or access them later as recorded sessions, in case you can’t make it at a specific time.
What do I need to participate in classes?
To participate in live classes, you’ll need a device capable of joining zoom calls. For class recordings, you’ll need a device that can access an internet browser and stream online video. Laptops, smartphones, and tablets all work great! To get the most out of live classes, we recommend having your webcam turned on so your instructor can see you and provide feedback.
Don’t worry, you won’t need any special equipment! Find a spot with at least 3ftx3ft of open space and you’re good to go.
Do you offer drop-in classes? Can I try a class before I join?
One of the best things about the Virtual Studio is that classes are unlimited, giving you the freedom to experiment with class types, times, and instructors.
Rather than offering individual drop-ins, you can purchase a daily pass for the same price of a single class at other studios. Your daily pass gives you 24 hours of access to live AND recorded classes through the Virtual Studio.
I'm a beginner. Can I join?
We love beginners! Because our unique SharQui method teaches you authentic bellydance in a fitness format, you’ll learn and improve before you know it. We even have a beginner-friendly “30 Day Studio Kickstart” program available for new members. This self-paced program starts with the fundamentals and builds towards regular workouts in the Virtual Studio.
What types of classes does the Virtual Studio offer?
We offer a great selection of daily live bellydance-based Fitness classes including our signature SharQuí Workout, SharQuí 2, Dance Strong, Core, Stretch, & HIIT. See the full schedule here.
All our classes incorporate authentic bellydance (raqs sharqi) technique, moves, and music. They're perfect for bellydancers looking to cross-train AND for anyone looking for a fun, artistic workout.
What happens if I miss a class?
No problem! Replays of every class are available within 48 hours of the end of the class and stay online for 30 days.
After 30 days, replays are moved to our Video Vault. If you want expiration-free access to ALL our class recordings, choose the Video Vault membership.
Which pass should I pick?
If you don’t know where to start, we recommend the Live Pass Subscription. You’ll have access to unlimited live Zoom classes and recordings, so you’ll be able to experience all the Virtual Studio has to offer.
If you find you want more, you can always upgrade to a Live Pass + Video Vault subscription later. On the other hand, if you find you love the recordings but can’t make the live Zoom classes, you can switch to a Replay Pass.
Tell me about the studio community!
We love our studio members! Our members-only Facebook group is vibrant and supportive. In addition to friendly chats before and after classes, we offer regular haflas and member meetups. Everything is online, so you’ll love the studio if you’ve been feeling the lack of a local bellydance community.
When will my subscription renew? What happens if I cancel early?
For subscription members, your subscription will automatically renew one month after purchase. For example, if you purchase a membership on April 15th, you’ll next be charged on May 15th, then June 15th, and so on. If you cancel your subscription early, you’ll still have access to the studio until the day you would regularly be charged.
How do I access classes?
All of our classes are held via the Zoom streaming conference platform. Your login info will appear in the receipt that is emailed to you upon purchase. Once you join the studio, you’ll be able to access the members’ area to get all your member perks.
We also have a member-exclusive Facebook group. Information on how to join the Facebook group will be emailed to you following your purchase.
What happens if I miss a class?
No problem! Replays of every class are available within 48 hours of the end of the class and stay online for 30 days.
After 30 days, replays are moved to our Video Vault. If you want expiration-free access to ALL our class recordings, choose the Video Vault membership.
What's the Replay Pass?
Find yourself missing our live classes, but still love the variety of the Virtual Studio? The Replay Pass is for you! Get full access to all workout recordings and our exclusive students-only Facebook groups, without live class access.
What's the Video Vault pass?
The Live Pass + Video Vault is perfect for anyone serious about improving their bellydance performance skills through strength and stamina. In addition to unlimited access to our regular fitness classes, you’ll get a free technique or performance skills workshop every month. You’ll grow as an artist while getting in shape.
This pass also includes our Video Vault, an ever-growing library of replays of our most popular classes. Unlike with our regular passes, access to these recordings does not expire. Access your favorite classes as many times as you like, no matter how long it’s been since the live class.
This includes Oreet’s popular Crash Choreo classes, which teach performance-ready choreographies while you get an amazing workout. Members with access to our Video Vault can review these replays as many times as they’d like, allowing you to use them again and again for your own performances.
