Flock of Birds Explained!

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

I had never been a dancer before I started taking classes with Shay. In fact, I’d never been very good at any physical skills. Since then, Shay has been able to help me open up and enjoy working with my body. She’s as an enthusiastic and caring of an instructor that I could ask for. I can have pretty much as much or as little personal attention as I… Read More

Just basking in the after glow of an amazing weekend! Just returned from a weekend workshop with Sharon Moore and her friend Gen in Kamloops B.C. The music, moves, atmosphere, exercise, socializing, purchasing and buying some more… it’s all such a wonderful memory! I loved it, loved it, and then I really enjoyed myself! I figured out awhile ago that Egyptian wasn’t it for me, although beautiful I was looking for something different and Sharon Moore… 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

Fantastic and Welcoming Bellydance Classes! From the first moment I stepped into Sharon’s class some four years ago, I felt both safe and welcome. Sharon creates a fun, positive, and supportive atmosphere to learn this beautiful dance form. Her dedication to her students is very clear through her vast knowledge of dance, her ability to teach the movements, and in the gentle and personal guidance that she… Read More

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