Sharon Kihara

A seasoned performer, inspirational teacher and exotic personality, Sharon Kihara is known the world over for her avante-garde sensibilities, as well as for her graceful and powerful technique. She comes from a strong background in western dance, beginning with Ballet as a wee tike and continuing to perform with University Modern and Jazz dance companies throughout the nineties. But her true love came in the form of Bellydance, first witnessed by Sharon as a child in it’s Cabaret form, then as Tribal Style in the mid nineties, and, as her mind had been blown beyond all hope for repair, she decided to pursue this art form with full enthusiasm.

Since then, Sharon has joined the Bellydance Superstars, beginning in early 2004, and has been touring internationally full-time ever since. She has taught and performed in over 35 countries to date with many more on the horizon; has shared stages with acts such as Missy Elliot, the Black Eyed Peas and multiple Circus and Fire Arts troupes, and co-headlined with the Bellydance Superstars on the main stage at the prestigious Glastonbury festival, alongside the White Stripes and Coldplay.

On Bated Breath, In the Land of Honey with Sharon Kihara
50,-€ Early Bird / 58,-€ – SK01 -
Sold out

Intermediate

Slow down. Take a deep breath. Enjoy the movements, and improve your stage presence to boot. This workshop is all about the rich and creamy, the gooey and the dreamy. The use of well-placed and carefully chosen slow movements can make a dancer appear experienced beyond their years. Much of this is relative to the flow of energy through the body. In this class we will dance a fresh choreography, all the while focusing our intentions upon the breath and the flow of chi (ki, prana) through the entire body. Healthy, fun, and intense.
