Flock of Birds Explained!

by Shay | posted in: technique | 0

In American Tribal Style Bellydance, we use the term “flock of birds” to describe the phenomenon that we follow one another without a set plan or timing. We are so closely cued in to one another’s movements that whoever the … 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)

I was hesitant to join the class because I have never danced before.  I’m self conscious about my dancing skills but by the end of the first class I had no reservations.  Shay was encouraging and patient with me and all the other students.  I felt like we had the perfect time to spend on each movement we learned.  By the end of the course I felt more confident… Read More

I’ve been doing ATS for years so I can say from experience that Shay is an exceptional teacher.

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

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

She is so patient and has a way of explaining moves that are easy to understand.  If you can’t do a certain move she is quick… Read More
