 This week on a Facebook group that I belong to, someone posted this excellent link for our consideration. It is a series of letters between a dancer and an awards and festival organization. In it, an accomplished Kathak dancer, Aditi … Read More

I can’t believe how FUN it was! I was terrified of group improv before your workshop, and now I can’t wait to play with it more. You made it so accessible, and your sense of humor kept my spirits high even when my energy was running low (you kicked our butts!) Thanks for a fantastic weekend. Read More

I’ve taken numerous classes from Shay and she is the best belly dance teacher in the area!  I’ve tried other teachers up north and have not been satisfied.  While I’m no longer a student I still miss classes with Sharon!

I used to drive from Olympia to take Sharon’s class every Monday. Unfortunately my schedule conflicts with her classes now, but the drive is oh-so-worth it. Sharon is an exceptional and generous teacher. She means business, but she also makes the class fun, creating a very supportive environment.  I so wish I could go back! Read More

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
