hawesome! i’d taken a year of traditional bellydance before moving to seattle & wanted to start up again but i had no idea what this “tribal” business was all about.  i didn’t want to be involved in drum circles or touching someone’s 3rd eye or anything else. i have to admit, i chose shay’s class purely on time & location but boy howdy, am… Read More

Sharon’s Awesomeness. I’m the type of person who gets frustrated with something i’m not good at right away and takes practice to get better at……and bellydance happens to fall into both of these categories for me! With that said, it’s been almost 3 years since i started studying with Sharon 🙂 Coming to Sharon as a baby dancer (from out of state,… Read More

I had never taken a belly dance class in my life (especially ATS), and was totally nervous about starting, especially because my previous dance experience didn’t allow waggles and shimmies! Thankfully, I met Shay. She is a DELIGHTFUL instructor –She makes a genuine and earnest effort to help “disarm” a lot of newbie woes, AND makes class a total joy with her abilities (seriously, an AMAZING dancer),… Read More

Tribal instruction at it’s finest! Shay has a true gift for teaching, and a true gift for tribal bellydance…put the two together and a magical class is born!  Her style is very warm and welcoming, and her instruction very clear and precise.  She is a wonderful teacher that I recommend highly to anyone interested in dipping their toes in tribal improv!

Wow! What a fun time I had seeing you dance, hanging out with you on Saturday night, and most importantly, learning from you on Sunday. I’d heard what a great teacher you are, Sharon, and for once, the rumor mill was true. Read More
