Mm Mm Monday – Improvised Zill Jam with Jamila and Suhaila!

by Shay | posted in: finger cymbals, MmMmMonday | 0

Oh finger cymbals, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! I so adore these simple metal disks, because there is so much musical possibility held in such a simple form factor. The rhythms that move me to … Read More

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

I can have pretty much as much or as little personal attention as I… Read More

I was a student of Shay’s for many years and some of my best memories have stemmed from her classes!! I encourage anyone interested in giving bellydance a try to check out her classes. Shay has a wonderful way of presenting information and creates a safe and fun learning environment for women of all ages. Her dedication to the dance and her students is inspiring!… Read More

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
