possibly THE most gracious Instructor ANYWHERE!

2008-05-02T16:11:28Z

Due to circumstance BEYOND the promoters' control - this morning's scheduled workshop had to take place, er....shall we say in a combination of not one - but TWO alternate locations before it was through!
And the participants were amazingly good sports about it and understanding as well.
(Hey, could have been worse (I guess) at least we were in a park and there was electricity)

But a gigantic thanks to Sharon for "rolling with the punches" and being an incredible professional and truly top shelf Lady!

TCLA Hearts you, Sharon.
thank you milles foix!

are ya scared??? well, are ya? ;-P

2008-05-01T18:10:02Z

I kid! I kid! ;-D

But seriously, we've attained almost full status in the first 3 workshops that Sharon & Kami are putting on, but only about half-full on the Advanced Tribal workshop Sunday afternoon.

I hope the description has not scared anyone off. No one will be humiliated or made to cry, we promise! :) Consider that even if you haven't had a lot of Tribal training, you will have had 3 classes with the ladies by the time the advanced class starts. I'M even taking the class, and I'm just an average dancer, so don't be afraid! Sign up and be challenged!! :]

See link for workshop and registration details:

Afterboob!

2008-04-30T21:28:19Z

I was reading one of my favorite blogs this morning, and the author asked that everyone try to use the word "afterboob" at least once today. And I thought to myself, "Where can I find a group of people silly enough to want to use that word?" And so of course I thought of you... (Though I'll admit I'm cross-posting to another tribe of crazies!)

I learned at Tribal Caravan...

2008-04-29T22:37:21Z

That video really does not do Sharon Kihara justice. I've always enjoyed her performances on DVDs, but during the Tribal Caravan afterparty, she absolutely took my breath away. There's something there that doesn't translate out of the live setting. Thank you, Sharon, for blowing my mind!

SK Workshops - How beginnersfriendly exactly?

2008-04-16T17:38:34Z

Sooo...Sharon Kihara is coming to the Netherlands and she's giving 4 workshops of which I'm wanting to attend 3. However, there's a very big 'but' involved here. I've been taking classes for (only?) about a year and it's been in egyptian-influenced style for the most part. I've been interested in tribal style bellydance for about the same year but haven't been seriously pursuing it, if that makes any sense. My knowledge of (and skill in) tribal bellydancing is thus quite limited (but you gotta start somewhere, right?). Next to that: I have about zero experience in Yoga (asides from what I got from bellydancer's DVDs), my teacher incorporates yoga movements and postures in our classes but it's still different from, for example, the yoga warmup Sharon gives on her DVD. I already have a hard time keeping up with that!

I know it's a bit silly, but to me it can get quite frustrating if I feel like I'm so far behind on the others that I'm spending more time trying not to trip over my own feet than actually enjoy what I'm doing. I don't mind working hard(er) to keep up but I don't want to half-ass the movements and learn it the wrong way.
One of the workshops states that it's for 'all levels', the other two 'encouraged to give it a try'. So those of you that have been to her workshops: how doable and awesome are they for someone like me? I'm curious to hear your experiences. :-)

(sorry that this turned into a wall of text!)

How to prepare for Sharon's workshops?

2008-04-08T10:23:07Z

How to prepare for Sharon's workshops?
I will take my first drill workshop plus a masterclass where you learn how to develop your own strenghtening and drill practice to meet your personal dance goals. So the emphasis will be more on drills than on choreography
Besides 'normal' (or should I say EXTRA :) yoga & dance drills, are there any specific drills I can focus on and that Sharon will definitely use in her class? The terms glutes and quads do ring a bell... (I also have the dvd, so if there is anything specific on there I can pay extra attention to)...

Thanks for your help!

Yet another tattoo question

2008-03-04T02:32:26Z

How often should one "touch-up" their tattoo? I know it varies according to whether it's got color, how detailed and large it is, and how often it sees the sun. Can anyone advise? I'm looking into my first (and likely giant) tattoo.

Where can I get one?

2008-02-05T03:18:38Z

I am looking for the purple and gold bra she wears in some of her recent performances. It is sort of like the Princess Leia bra buy way cooler.

bellydance metal heads????

2008-02-01T21:01:35Z

I haven't posted much on this tribe...yet... but I've noticed some interesting pics in the photo albums.... Is it true??? there are those dancers out there who actually listen to metal??? Deicide?? I don't believe it! What about Slayer? S.O.D.???? or maybe even nasty messy GWAR??? I love ole Slymenstra Hymen, what a great female role model! Her and her girlie freak show!
Okay, let's start a thread for those closet metal head bellydancers.... what are your favorite.... to dance to, to get a "bangover" to.... etc..
I think Doom metal could be a great thing to mix Bellydancing with... Sleep etc...
But lately I really enjoy me a little In Flames....
Should I be hiding from embarrassment???

SHARON... Light & Dark

2008-01-11T22:58:04Z

As we all know, Sharon is a very busy, jet-setting lady. She spends a lot of time indoors with the tour, but she does get some breaks to teach workshops in some of the many lands of warm-exotica. Due to the nature of her job, her pigment often fluxuates. Pretty is pretty, but DAMN she roks my world when she is buttery-biscuit-brown!!! Maybe it's just genetically predisposed to suit her with the Japanese/Native-Americaninity. Hootie-hoo... if I were 20 years older, & she were 20 years younger, I'd pull a Woody Allen!!! (Just kidding, that'd be a smidge nasty) LOL!!!

Selling 3rd Coast Sharon Kihara classes

2008-01-01T19:07:38Z

Hey y'all,

I'm in a tight spot...due to medical/financial issues, I won't be able to go to 3rd Coast in Fort Worth, TX this weekend. I'm selling my two Sharon Kihara classes...the semi-private intensive for int/adv on Saturday and the choreo class on Sunday. I paid $120 and $55 respectively but am open to negotiation. The semi-private class is sold out, so this would be a great opportunity for some close interaction with Miss Sharon.

All info is up on www.urbangypsy.cc

Thanks!
Liora :)

Hey all!

I know this group is about Sharon, but I just thought I'd post a link to some of my new music (given how the first track is named in Sharon's honour) ... it's fun, dark electronic stuff and much of it is highly suitable, belly shakin' material.

Please let me know what you think...

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats

2007-11-20T22:46:55Z

Hi Folks,
We recently released a debut album. It's a mix of electronic and arabian styles. We're hoping it might appeal to the tribal dance community. Please feel free to have a listen on myspace where we have four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

It would also be great to promote it through the network of belly dance teachers who might be interested to sell it at a class or bazaar. We can offer it at wholesale prices with plenty of capacity for the seller to make a decent profit on top of the wholesale price.

Please contact info@nomadiqa.com for further details. Sorry for the self promotion.

Hope to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa

DESCRIPTION:
12-2pm: Core Integration, Yoga for dancers:
Drawing from yoga, feldenkrais, pilates, and Deb's personal 'stash', this workshop will focus on core integration, spinal
articulation, and building the foundational strength and flexibility to directly support your dancing technique and prevent injuries. Focus will be on increasing pelvic, hip, spine, and shoulder flexibility, deepening core awareness, and gaining isolated control of all the muscles necessary for bellydance. A necessary foundation for any level dancer.

Applying the techniques we focused on it the first workshop, it's now time to integrate it into our dancing. Focus this week will be on deepening our slow, ooey gooey moves to achieve that slinky, sexy, intoxicating look and feel; drilling sharp, pronounced isolations, with new yogic, integrated awareness that will change your dancing at the core!. Also learn healthy ways for laybacks and backbending to save your low back; layering techniques; and 'floating' upper body and posture for stage.

Strengthens total awareness, creativity, ESP, skeleton, thyroid, helps to expand viewpoint. It is believed to improve sleep and cure insomnia.

The Romans used lapis as an aphrodisiac.

During ancient times lapis was ground up and used for medicinal purposes as well as a cosmetic. The ground powder was mixed with milk and used as a compress to relieve ulcers and boils and, during the Middle Ages, lapis lazuli was believed to maintain the skeleton in healthy condition while keeping the spirit free from the negative emotions of fear and jealousy.

Lapis is used to energize the throat chakra and when placed over the brow chakra it induces a heightened state of awareness.

Small present for Sharon?

2007-10-22T21:09:57Z

Hello to all fellow bellydancers...
Well, in a few weeks Sharon will come to my country too and I already signed up for a WS!! Im so excited and I cant wait to work with her!!! Well, and since I am creating lots of different types of cowrie hairfalls I thought I´d make two special ones for Sharon as a small "Thank you!" for the WS (coz I know that it´s gonna be awesome!). But some people came up and said that its maybe not a good idea...that it is too much etc...What do u think? Is it ok if I give her some nice hairfalls that I made myself as a "Thank you!"? Thanks in advance!

Alright friends and neighbors...I"m hoping you can help me outas I first heard it at a workshop with Sharon...The song is currently being used in a Budweiser(?) commercial. Synthesized and drummy somewhat with the only words being "Don't hold back". Know the description is vague but it is the best I got. I just remember doing lots and lots of rib slides and shimmy stuff to it. Anyone out there able to help me out??? Would be very, super duper thankful to whomever can tell me.... ; )

Any dancers near TURLOCK, CA?

2007-09-04T23:00:55Z

Hi, my name is Carrie. I live in Alaska, and run a tribal troupe in Anchorage called Gypsy Underground. I work for a company (IWI Inc.) that has a home office in Turlock, CA.
The Co. is flying me down there soon for some extra training, and I was hoping to find some fellow tribal dancers to maybe go out to dinner or drinks ( as in several ) with.
If anybody wants to hang out with me that would be just super! I just can't bear the thought of staying in my hotel every night.

Post-Sharon's workshop...the calm after the storm

2007-09-01T00:17:12Z

What an amazing workshop! Painful...yes....at times...but it was a good kind of pain. Everyone's advice was head-on: plenty of downward dogs, glute squeezes, and many other stretches. She works you hard, but her sweet personality just makes you want to work harder. I recommend her workshops to any dancer who wants a challenge..and doesn't mind laughing along with Sharon's silliness.

Yep, I'm sore...but I'm proud of it. I learned so much and I can't wait to take another workshop with her one day (hopefully it won't be too far off)

Parasols?

2007-07-06T05:44:31Z

Maybe it's because I am just not paying much attention or live in the South but what is with the love of parasols all of a sudden? Nothing wrong with it - I've used one for a while (especially after I saw Carrie on Mythbusters with one - I didn't feel so scary walking around in public!) The sun and I do not get along.

I'm just glad to see I'm no longer alone!!!

Sharon in Basingstoke!

2007-06-28T14:51:38Z

Last night I went to see the BDSS - my first time ever in the flesh rather than on a screen.

This girl rocks. She is beautiful and satuesque and warm.

I simply cannot wait to take her workshops on the weekend.

Rock on Sharon!

...the wackiness that was this tribe. What happened to us? Where has the silliness gone??? Where's the 50-post long threads about heavy metal, muppets and zombie rolls? Where are the photos with stragegically placed bananas?

Where have they all gone???!!!!

The general skills intensive is a 15 hour course, usually taken at the FCBD studio, with Carolena teaching. With only 20 people in Toronto, you will have Carolena and Megha teaching and coaching.

Do not disappoint Carolena or Megha - be well prepared with the material. All volumes of FCBD dvds can be purchased through Cleopatra's Bazaar or directly from FCBD.

Once completed, you will receive a General Skills for ATS certificate. It should be noted that completing this certification does not qualify one to be an authorized ATS teacher.
