Do More With Less – The Power in Simplicity

by Shay | posted in: advice, performance, Teaching | 1

I have been thinking a lot lately about the phenomenon in the bellydance world of favoring volume over quality. Teachers are pushing students through levels (Six weeks in the beginner level? Welcome to intermediate!) or constantly introducing new concepts in … Read More

A Student’s Epiphany…

by Shay | posted in: Teaching, training | 1

I have students who drive quite a distance to study with me–a fact I find speaks more to their dedication to the dance than any special skill I have in my teaching bag of tricks. A handful drive as much … Read More

Just reach for it…

“I have learned a great lesson this last week/2 weeks. I must pay attention to my intentions. I got a little lost for a bit because I allowed my focus to stray from my ultimate goal. I guess I’ve spent … 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

The class is challenging, but she presents the curriculum in such a way that I don’t feel nervous or overwhelmed. She is so comfortable in the teaching role that she helps me to be comfortable as her student, and in fact, I feel excited about learning whatever she wants to teach. Read More

Tribal instruction at it’s finest! Shay has a true gift for teaching, and a true gift for tribal bellydance…put the two together and a magical class is born!  Her style is very warm and welcoming, and her instruction very clear and precise.  She is a wonderful teacher that I recommend highly to anyone interested in dipping their toes in tribal improv!

I can’t believe how FUN it was! I was terrified of group improv before your workshop, and now I can’t wait to play with it more. You made it so accessible, and your sense of humor kept my spirits high even when my energy was running low (you kicked our butts!) Thanks for a fantastic weekend. Read More
