Transforming a Tribal Bra

by Shay | posted in: Costume & Makeup, costuming, tutorials | 0

 Over my many years of performing, I have accumulated quite a collection of costuming, some of which has been timeless and some which was very “of the day”. Some of my performance bras have fallen under the latter category, and … 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 studied Tribal Fusion bellydance with Frederique in Oakland before moving to Seattle, and I was desperately missing getting my shimmy on.

Shay is a great dancer, but what is more important to this review is that she is… 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

Ali of n.o.madic tribal - New Orleans, LA

She is very encouraging and makes the movements accessible to even the most beginner dancer while still keeping the classes fun and interesting for more advanced dancers. I encourage anyone who is looking to try a new form of movement in a supportive environment to take classes with Shay. The connections and… Read More
