Weekly group class has also been really fun, and the special events are great too. We had very little ballroom dance experience at all, but now can fairly confidently move around a dance floor with several different dance steps.

She has studied, performed and taught Raqs Sharqi for over twenty years, and continues to develop and grow in this art form by attending workshops and classes in person and online with international instructors. Shari believes that belly dance is accessible to people of all ages and body types. Whether students come to get exercise, meet new friends, practice self-care, or with a desire to improve their technique and perform, Shari is supportive and welcoming. Her classes offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for students to build a strong foundation and to practice belly dance beyond technique. Shari's goal is for students to be mindful, active and connected with their bodies in the ways that feel good to them. She also sprinkles in cultural tidbits, including historical and musical background, to provide context about how this mesmerizing art form has developed. Shari teaches in a local studio and is available for special performances from private parties to theatrical stage shows. When she's not teaching or performing Raqs Sharqi she can often be found kicking her heels up in the local salsa or swing dance scenes.
