Sacred Shimmy Studio

New Beginner Bellydance Session Starts Tuesday, July 14!

I’m so excited to launch a fresh round of Beginner Bellydance. I’ve been refining this class to bring you timeless technique in fresh ways, offering beauty, challenge, power, and joy all at once.

No experience needed! We start from the very beginning in a welcoming, body‑positive space. I break everything down step‑by‑step so you can feel confident, comfortable, and grounded in your movement.

All bodies are good bodies. All dance is good dance. No gatekeeping and perfectionism here!

Join me Tuesdays at 7:30 PM starting July 14, in‑studio at Sacred Shimmy or online from home. Register at SacredShimmyStudio.com!

The first time I heard this song, I knew I wanted to make a choreography to it. There are just so many opportunities for hip drops! Deciding to use veil for it came later, after watching a dance show with lots of veil pieces done exactly the same way. I thought, "Surely there are other ways a veil can be used in bellydance. There have to be!" And Crack of Doom was born. So far, it's the only piece an audience member has ever requested by name, and it's a favorite of a fierce little gal named that Katie that we all love, so it'll be sticking around a while.

I'm so excited to share this beautiful video of a choreography we've been working on this year!

We were recently invited to perform at SummerWorks, a showcase of local dance companies curated by Columbus Dance Alliance.

We chose to feature this dynamic sword and fusion bellydance choreography. The movement sequence was created by me for sword class, and the staging was created as a class exercise. Later, three of us went back in and added the non-sword fusion component.

Thanks for for making such an exciting piece of music for us to work with, and thanks to the CDA for their ongoing work to elevate and feature Columbus dancers!

My next six-week session of Beginner Yoga starts next Monday, June 29. I've half-jokingly started calling this class "Yoga for Cranky Perimenopausal Folks and Other Sympathetic Souls." At the beginning of every session, I ask the class what their goals are, and as women of a certain age, the hormonal roller coaster often guides our selections. Our current concerns are things like knee pain, back pain, pelvic floor integrity, and building strength.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, come hang out with us. You don't have to be a cranky perimenopausal person to attend, but that's the current vibe of the room.

It’s an exciting weekend in Columbus, Ohio! There are Pride, Juneteenth, and Summer Solstice events popping off all over the city! If you’re looking for something kinda dance-y and kinda chill, join us at Sacred Shimmy Studio for our quarterly studio party. We’ll dance, snack, and probably laugh our asses off. Got a performance you want to share? We still have space on the list for you!

Due to low registration, I won't be teaching yoga on Sundays in June.

If you'd like to practice with me this month, I opened up some drop-in slots for my Monday night 60-minute session.

I also opened up registration for Sundays in July for anyone who wants to commit to class early.

See you soon!
