Getting “That One Move” – Zaphara’s Perspective

by Shay | posted in: advice | 0

Zaphara is a local Seattle legend. She has been dancing since the 70’s, and almost every pro in Seattle has taken at least a class or two from her in their day (including yours truly). Alessandra interviewed her for her … 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

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

Your workshop Sunday was by far the best one I took all weekend. Too bad I put so much energy into the workshop just before yours that I could barely move. But your notes are so clear that I didn’t miss a thing. What I love about your dancing is the perfect combination of classic tribal moves with whatever is au courant. BRAVO !!!!!!!! Read More

You’re an excellent dancer – the best one I’ve had for dance. You have a natural ability to teach dancing – keep it up! Read More

C&T Fan - Seattle, WA (Cues & Tattoos participant)

NO FEAR! I’m finding Shay’s class remarkable in the sense that I don’t feel scared or dumb…even though I’m really new at this tribal thing.  The class is challenging, but she presents the curriculum in such a way that I don’t feel nervous or overwhelmed. Beyond dance, she’s actually teaching dance theory, and I feel myself getting grounded in the movements and vocabulary as time goes on.  Highly recommended,… Read More
