What is ATS? A video from CN

by Shay | posted in: American Tribal Style, Styles | 0

Really listen to how Carolena describes ATS. Hell Yes. “When you rehearse together with the common goal of cooperation, the steps and movements become so second-nature that you can really ‘see’ the other person…”

Teacher Loyalty – a dying virtue?

by Shay | posted in: teachers | 0

I have written in the past of teacher loyalty, both in the “Teacher Loyalty Redux” as well as expressed my own homage to my dance Mommas in the lengthily named post “Sharon has two mommies…no, wait…four…no” The former is an … Read More

I know quite a few dancers who are not on Facebook, where this was making the rounds a couple months back. Thought I would post it here for those who haven’t seen it. And dammit, it’s funny every time. And … Read More

Nightmare before Christmas as metaphor

by Shay | posted in: ethics, fusion, musings | 2

Once upon a time there was a character named Jack Skellington. Jack was very very good at Halloween. Everyone looked to him for leadership because he was so good at it. As time went on, Jack became bored of Halloween. … Read More

by Shay | posted in: musings | 0

All the way back in May, I was pondering the collision of modern media and the organic process of artistic creation. In that post I wrote: “A sculpture or a painting–even a piece of music or a video–is not expected … Read More

Modern media kills the organic process?

by Shay | posted in: musings | 5

I recently had a discussion with Read My Hips’ director Stephanie Barto about the effect of the internet and on-demand media on the natural organic progression of art. I think performance art struggles in particular in the new millenium, victim … Read More

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

I cannot say enough good things about Shay Moore and her classes – I have been studying tribal fusion bellydance with Shay for over 5 years and it is hands-down one the most fun and enriching experiences I have been involved with.  Shay is an excellent teacher – her style is warm, supportive, encouraging and playful, and she strives to break things down in a way that everyone can… Read More

Your passion for the dance really comes through in your performance and in your teaching. It’s very inspiring! Read More

C. - Sebastopol, CA (Tribal Fest workshop attendee

Shay, for all your knowledge, your grasp of dance, and your grace in movement, it’s your love of teaching that touches my heart the most. We live in such a selfish society, it’s wonderful to be exposed to someone who recognizes that the gifts they possess are more valuable when they’ve been shared with others. You, my dear, are a wonderful teacher, and selfless treasure! Read More
