Students win First Prize —
11 countries defeated

The Pakistani Student Association at the University of Central Oklahoma reached out to Sanam for help learning Pakistani dance. They were preparing for the Edmond International Festival — a competition between student councils from countries around the world.

Sanam taught them entirely over Zoom — proving that authentic cultural dance education can cross any distance. The UCO PSA students learned, rehearsed, and performed — and won First Prize, defeating student councils from 11 countries.

"Working with Sanam over Zoom, our students learned authentic Pakistani dance — and brought home First Prize at the international festival. Her teaching is clear, her passion is contagious, and the results speak for themselves." — UCO Pakistani Student Association
