What is SharQui™?

SharQui

Bellydance is an art form that has been passed down from generation to generation by visually demonstrating and mimicking. To this day, bellydance is taught through the mimicking process, which can lack the element of breaking down a movement. This learning process of learning may be hard for the non-dancer to understand and thus unsafe to perform. Not knowing how to use the body in specific movements can be potentially harmful and as a result not enjoyable. The SharQui™ Technique was created to remedy this.

The SharQui™ Technique is an anatomical approach to belly dance that works the entire body so that you can work out safer and smarter. Not only will you learn the building blocks of bellydance and have a better understanding of how the body works, but you will gain core strength, speed, isolation and stamina.

SharQui is a fun and new way to work out. It is a total body workout that will get your heart pumping while you celebrate your body and feed your soul. If you are an experienced dancer, you will be able to perfect your form, balance, and gain strength, while learning a new way to approach movement.

No experience necessary. All levels of dancers are welcome!
