About Sharon:
Sharon Moore, formerly known by her dance name
Mahirimah, has studied many forms of dance and
movement throughout her life, including jazz, modern,
ballet, and gymnastics; however, her heart and soul is
in tribal style belly dance. Since discovering
bellydance, she has studied with many instructors
spanning diverse styles of Middle Eastern Dance and
related ethnic dances, developing in her a deep
respect for all interpretations of this ancient dance
form, and inspiring her to incorporate these
influences into her eclectic style of performance and
instruction. She is a certified instructor of the
Gypsy Caravan tribal style, having completed a
mentorship with director Paulette Rees-Denis in 2001,
and as such, is now the only certified tribal belly
dance instructor in Washington State. She will begin
pursuing her next level of Gypsy Caravan teacher
certification in 2003, and is studying the Suhaila
Salimpour format with hopes of certifying Level I in
the coming year.
In addition to being a co-director of inFusion Tribal
Belly Dance , she is director of her own student
troupe, Shaia Tribe - Wild Tribal Belly Dance , who
perform at artist-friendly venues around the city.
Sharon is highly active in the Seattle belly dance
community, producing and performing at local events,
organizing workshops and other educational
opportunities in the Seattle area, and maintaining
several informational web sites.
Sharon is the author of the column "Of The Tribe",
which was a feature in the widely distributed tribal
belly dance journal Caravan Trails, from 2001-2003;
and has written various articles for other
publications such as The Gilded Serpent , and the new
edition of The Tribal Bible by Kajira Djoumahna. For
her "day job", Sharon is the owner of Mandala
Tribal--home of Kamikaze Costumes, specializing in
hand-made tribal costumes and accessories, as well as
a wide selection of tribal and fusion music, books,
videos, and much more.
Sharon is a nurturing teacher with a great sense of
humor who loves to help students succeed. She finds
that the sense of community created with tribal belly
dance is a uniquely beautiful and empowering force in
her life, and she is honored and thrilled to be
sharing this experience with her dance sisters! She
can be found taking workshops every chance she gets,
studying videos and articles voraciously, and
otherwise constantly working to expand her knowledge
of this art form she loves.
When: October 23rd
10:30 - 12:30 am Funky Fusion Steps and Combos:
learn why its called tribal fusion! Add some spice
and sass to your dance with American tribal style
steps drawing on middle eastern, spanish, indian, and
even hip-hop influences. This workshop will be
suitable for seasoned tribal style dancers, and
begginners too.
1:30 - 3:30 pm Group Formations and combinations.
Tribal is all about dancing together so we will learn
some different ways to improvise in a group, and build
on the steps and combinations we learned in the
morning. This workshop will assume a basic knowledge
of the concept of tribal improv and cuing and will
probably be more intermediate based.
