by Shay | posted in: advice, performance | 5

Recently in class a student asked me how long it took me to feel proficient at tribal group improvisation.  I told her it would be wildly different from person-to-person, depending on previous dance/movement experience, mind-body connection, home practice, etc.  But … Read More

Dancing with others – you are supported!

by Shay | posted in: advice | 1

I remember what it was like to be a new dancer learning tribal bellydance.  It was such a switch for me from other dance and movement styles I had studied.  In the other forms I either performed solo, or if … Read More

A group improv lover’s dilemma: debate?

by Shay | posted in: musings | 3

An online friend, dear Leslie-Jean (Miss Boo, to those on tribe) remarked the other day on her Facebook status that she was exhausted by debates and discussions about ATS/tribal. And frankly, it is genuinely tiresome, and not for the faint … Read More

Great class, awesome instructor. Very fun. I am thinking about making this my ‘go to’ exercise class! Nothing is better than having fun while you are working it out! Read More

I used to drive from Olympia to take Sharon’s class every Monday. Unfortunately my schedule conflicts with her classes now, but the drive is oh-so-worth it. Sharon is an exceptional and generous teacher. She means business, but she also makes the class fun, creating a very supportive environment.  I so wish I could go back! Read More
