i'd taken a year of traditional bellydance before moving to seattle & wanted to start up again but i had no idea what this "tribal" business was all about. i didn't want to be involved in drum circles or touching someone's 3rd eye or anything else.

i have to admit, i chose shay's class purely on time & location but boy howdy, am i glad i did. first of all, shay is gorgeous dancer who is both inspiring but also encouraging. her teaching is style is very friendly, relaxed, & approachable &, dammit, she's just a delightful person.

i highly recommend her beginning class. if anyone can make the material accessible, it's sharon.
