Fantastic and Welcoming Bellydance Classes! From the first moment I stepped into Sharon’s class some four years ago, I felt both safe and welcome. Sharon creates a fun, positive, and supportive atmosphere to learn this beautiful dance form. Her dedication to her students is very clear through her vast knowledge of dance, her ability to teach the movements, and in the gentle and personal guidance that she… Read More

Seatowngrown - Seattle, WA (TeachStreet)

NO FEAR! I’m finding Shay’s class remarkable in the sense that I don’t feel scared or dumb…even though I’m really new at this tribal thing.  The class is challenging, but she presents the curriculum in such a way that I don’t feel nervous or overwhelmed. Beyond dance, she’s actually teaching dance theory, and I feel myself getting grounded in the movements and vocabulary as time goes on.  Highly recommended,… Read More

I figured out awhile ago that Egyptian wasn’t it for me, although beautiful I was looking for something different and Sharon Moore… Read More

The bellydance community in Seattle is huge, and full of good performers, but Sharon’s… Read More
