THURSDAY TIME CHANGE AND NEW CLASS ADDED

Thursday Level 1 will be moving to 7:30-8:30 beginning the June session, to make some time for our next new class "Skills n' Drills!":

Thursdays 8:30-9:30pm - Phinney Neighborhood Center beginning in June

By popular request, we will be jamming on Thursday nights!
This class will be a combination of general bellydance skill drills, ATS/Tribal Group Improv concepts, zills and rhythms, combos and choreography, and more. Some nights we may watch inspirational videos, and discuss dance styles, ethics, philosophy, and creativity. Some nights will be group concepts and open jam time. Some nights we may be able to bring in guest teachers in different styles and approaches. The goal of this class is to play as we learn, to share and be inspired.

Bring your requests and ideas, and we will mold this class each week as we like!

Please note: Students must have completed at least THREE sessions of tribal bellydance classes with Sharon Moore at any level. Students will gain the most from this class with some Level 2 experience, or taking Level 2 concurrently.

BRING A FRIEND, GET A DISCOUNT


Summer is coming, and it's time to crawl out of our dank, dreary little caves and get moving. Seattle is in bloom, and it's time to get out there! Do you have some friends who you know could use a nudge to get their booties shaking this summer? You know it's always more fun with a partner in crime, anyway. You hoist 'em off the couch and get them to register for a session, and you get a discount for your efforts!

Bring one friend, get 25% off of a single session pre-registration
(Save $15! Only $45 for the session)
Bring two friends, get 50% off.
(Save $30! Only $30 for the session)
Bring three or more friends, and I'll give you the session for FREE!!
(That's $60 off, my friend!)

Have your friends register on the website or mail a check. Then you e-mail me their names once they have registered, and your Paypal e-mail address (if applicable), and I will send you the total for your discounted session rate. Easy!

This offer is not transferrable.
Friends must all register for the same session you are attending, but not necessarily the same class level/day.
Friends must be first-time new students to Sharon's classes (sample class not included).
This offer valid for summer sessions beginning June-September.
