Core Class Collection: Working Laboratory Sessions

The Salimpour Online Library & Conservatory Access provides subscription-based entry to Suhaila Salimpour’s Core Class Collection, the foundational archive of her technique work filmed primarily in her home studio, with much content originating from the Salimpour Conservatory period¹. While additional material spans beyond that era, the majority of advanced embodied instruction is captured in these working laboratory sessions with her dance company and dedicated practitioners.

The collection provides access to a wide variety with Suhaila’s Core Dimension™ as the unifying spine throughout.

  • Suhaila's Method
  • Salimpour Vocabulary
  • Choreography
  • Stylizations
  • Performance Studies
  • Cultural Studies

A Unique Perspective

Filmed with a documentarian approach, the sessions provide a rare, unobtrusive vantage point—allowing observation of the dynamic interplay between instructor and learner. This “fly-on-the-wall” perspective reveals how Suhaila teaches, how students respond, and how movement, musicality, and cultural phrasing evolve in real time. The result is a deeply analytical resource capturing the teaching and learning process as it happens, offering unparalleled insight for study, reflection, and application.

Conservatory-Style Organization

The sessions were structured as a conservatory curriculum, reflecting the progression and rigor of professional dance training. Classes supported embodied development, musicality, and expressive refinement, with students rotating through focused areas of study. This curated archival collection preserves a unique moment in the Salimpour Conservatory’s history, providing both depth and continuity in learning.

Why join us?

Structured for Online Learning

The material is divided into individual classes, short courses, and rotation plans, enabling study by level, thematic focus, or specific movement emphasis. Students are encouraged to approach the material progressively for optimal development but may also tailor their study to suit individual goals and needs.

For Serious Practitioners and Scholars

Designed for dancers, instructors, and researchers, this subscription offers an unparalleled window into Suhaila’s methodology, providing both a reference for study and inspiration for embodied practice.

Designed for Commitment

This collection offers rigorous, immersive training reflecting the demands of authentic SWANA dance practice. The curriculum does not differentiate between hobbyists and professionals—everyone is held to the same high standard of dedication, focus, and ongoing study.
While learners at all levels can benefit, this program is best suited to those willing to commit sustained attention, self-discipline, and active reflection. It is challenging, demanding, and profoundly rewarding for those ready to engage deeply with real dance—not a watered-down or casual experience. If you seek a genuine, serious educational journey grounded in tradition and innovation, this program is for you.

Choreography & More Library

Individual Courses for Focused Study
In addition to the Core Class Collection available through the Library & Conservatory subscription, select courses exploring choreography, musical interpretation, and culturally grounded movement studies are offered individually in the Choreography & More Library. These focused short courses provide opportunities to apply Salimpour methodologies and Core Dimension™ principles within specific works, allowing learners to deepen their practice in specialized areas.

Many of these courses are available for separate purchase without requiring full Library subscription access, offering flexibility to pursue targeted studies aligned with your interests and goals.
