We are starting our Old School Bellydance series again in August, and I was recently asked what makes it “old school”–basically what is the class about? We base our Old School classes on the root form of tribal bellydance, which … Read More

She teaches you how to dance for your body, and how to make each movement your own. Dancers from very beginners to advanced students will find Sharon’s classes welcoming, challenging, and fun!

Serendipity.  For anyone interested in American Tribal Style bellydance I can’t encourage you enough to check out classes with Shay at Deep Roots Dance.  Shay is a wonderfully fun, encouraging and inspiring teacher.  I started taking classes with her a few months ago and feel that she is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the luck to stumble upon.  You can tell this woman is incredibly skilled… Read More
