Cabaret Isn’t “Just” Cabaret

by Shay | posted in: cabaret | 0

(This article was also tweaked and posted to NWBellydance.com) We tribal dancers are well known for our ongoing debates about what is and is not tribal, but beyond that we debate the minutiae of what sub-set of tribal best defines … Read More

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…”

Article: Tribal Fusion Bellydance on Gilded Serpent

by Shay | posted in: fusion, history | 0

Have a read, and let me know what you think: http://www.gildedserpent.com/cms/2010/11/03/jasmine-june-intro-tribal-fusion-belly-dance/ “The “fusion” in Tribal Fusion Belly Dance makes this dance genre elusive and tricky to define. Two dancers could have nothing in common except a few core movements and … Read More

ATS Old/New – Another take

by Shay | posted in: American Tribal Style | 0

Nancy Young posted a really articulate and well-considered response to Carolena’s message, and I wanted to share my favorite part of it: “By giving this gift, you have, it seems to me, officially acknowledged ATS, your baby, as a mature … Read More

ATS Old/New – My Take

by Shay | posted in: American Tribal Style | 3

I have been engaged in many discussions about the New/Old ATS announcement, on Tribe and on Facebook and in mails with friends, and even had a chat with Carolena today. I haven’t said too much about my thoughts on this … Read More

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

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

I studied Tribal Fusion bellydance with Frederique in Oakland before moving to Seattle, and I was desperately missing getting my shimmy on. I’ll be honest, I first took Shay’s class at the Phinney Neighborhood Center because it was close to my house and she answered my email, but boy howdy did I get lucky. Shay is a great dancer, but what is more important to this review is that she is… 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

So much fun!  I didn’t know much about belly dance and was just looking for a class that was close to home.  Lucky me, I found Sharon and ATS.  She is warm, welcoming and encouraging, and the community built around her classes is incredibly supportive. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, I’d highly recommend taking classes with Sharon and Deep Roots Dance.  You will have a blast and… Read More
