Kahraman offers weekly classes and special workshops and events throughout the year. We provided all level of classes from beginning students to professional level training, specializing in Near Eastern Dance. Other offerings include Yoga, Pilates, and Modern.

Statement of Intent:
Kahraman has been active since its inception in 1994 in providing dance education to the community. It continues to be our goal to provide a caring and professional class for the student beginning through professional level in which to learn the art of dance.  The teachers at Kahraman Studio are deeply committed to helping each student reach the personal goals that bring them to the studio. Also, the teachers at Kahraman understand that dance is a lifelong pursuit and are committed to furthering their own professional training in order to better represent dance and to serve their students.

In order to meet the growing needs of our community and the surge of interest in the Near East, Kahraman opened a studio in January of 2005, located in Iowa City. We wish to thank community members for their labor of love and their heart felt donations of goods, services and funding to complete this project.
