About Me

Sharon Moore is a passionate tribal bellydance artist who devotes her energies to instructing, performing, and costume design. With a combined background of study in classic dance forms, gymnastics, music and theater, she finds tribal bellydance to be the most rewarding performance art she has ever encountered, and has made it her life's work. Drawing on her distinctive sense of creativity, Sharon enjoys blending modern sensibilities and aesthetics with classic dance forms, gently but enthusiastically pushing the limits of modern bellydance artistry.

Proven to be a nurturing teacher with a great sense of humor, Sharon loves to help students succeed. She considers herself a joyful facilitator to each student, helping them pursue their bliss in the bellydance world; an ambition which is validated in her packed weekly classes and sold out workshops around the country. She finds that the sense of community created with tribal bellydance is a uniquely beautiful and empowering force in her life, and she is honored and thrilled to be sharing this experience with others.

Sharon is a certified instructor in both the Gypsy Caravan tribal style--mentored personally by director Paulette Rees-Denis in 2001--and American Tribal Style--having completed the ATS Certified Teacher training with Carolena Nericcio of FatChanceBellyDance. Sharon continues to enjoy exploring the nuances of various tribal group improvisational philosophies and aesthetics to create her own unique expression. This diversified approach to her personal study has developed in her a deep respect for all interpretations of this art form, from its ancient roots through modern-day explorations. She keeps her personal style of teaching and performance fresh and unique by continually seeking out new inspirations through ongoing study of various performance art forms.

"Sharon is rad"

Review of Sharon Moore , August 27, 2008

Sharon is an outstanding instructor and director with an incredible gift for sharing her knowledge, experience and philosophy with others. Her creative style of teaching makes learning tribal fun and accessible; I had no dance background before I started dancing with Sharon but she explains things in a way that anyone can catch on to, and she'll explain it over and over in different ways until her students do get it. She creates a very positive, supportive and cooperative learning environment. The dance is addicting and life-affirming. If you are at all curious, you owe it to yourself to try out one of her classes!

Review of Sharon Moore , July 28, 2008

I've been dancing with Sharon since 2002 or so and can't say enough good things about her tribal classes: the solid foundation in dance basics and the dedication to breaking steps down in a comprehensible and meaningful way were what caught me--in that I felt like I was actually building a skill set as opposed to just swanning around in a coin belt for an hour a week--but what's kept me in her classes has been the attitude towards the dance. She is very dedicated to her students and to their growth as dancers, as well as to the larger tribal community, and her passion and excitement for this art are apparent in every single class she teaches. She is funny and gracious and encouraging, and, as abovementioned, has very excellent hair. I feel that excellent hair in a dance teacher can only bode well, don't you?
