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 popular 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.
