Troupe Sahirrnee is based in Fremont County, CO, spanning the trifecta towns of Penrose, Florence, and Canon City.  The ups and downs of life have morphed our group a few times since 2002, but in the end our goal is the same...to dance a variety of bellydance styles with skill, precision and expression.  We love to attend workshops with other dancers to learn new styles and moves, as our budget allows!  We incorporate what we find into what we already know, creating a bellydance troupe that blends genres and thinks outside the box. Bringing those ideas to our classes, Sahirrnee has created two student dance troupes:  a choreography group, The Terpsichoreans, and a Tribal group, Mountain Gypsies. 

Charmin Heimel

Coming from a background of dance that did not include bellydancing, Charmin was sucked in to the world of Raks Sharqi on day one of her first class.  After several years of mastering the basics of cabaret, oriental, and Egyptian technique, she embraced American Tribal Style and that became her first love.  A founding member of Sahirrnee, and our resident ATS expert, she brings together a mixture of bellydance that is inventive and unexpected.  Charmin plans to dance until she is old and wrinkled, and we expect her to continue backbends and berbers until then!

Pam is bubbly and energetic and lots of fun to dance with--she keeps things laid back and mellow.  We think she's fantastic!
