Safiya Robinson

You take private hip-hop dance lessons from Safiya Noor Robinson, a 25-year-old mixed Pakistani–African American instructor whose outgoing energy immediately sets the tone. Each session feels less like a formal class and more like a focused, high-energy space where music drives everything. Safiya is encouraging and playful, breaking down choreography with clarity while constantly pushing you to feel the beat rather than overthink the steps. Her love for music is obvious in the playlists she curates and the way she talks about rhythm, confidence, and letting movement come naturally. As you work with her, you begin to see how her culture and faith shape her presence without defining it outwardly. She speaks casually about growing up between Pakistani and African American worlds and how dance helped her bring those parts together. Her faith is personal and balanced, reflected in her discipline, warmth, and self-assurance rather than strict rules. Over time, the lessons become about more than technique—you leave each session more confident, more connected to the music, and more comfortable expressing yourself through movement.
