Meet your instructor: Shaylah Shaylah is a Washington, DC native who began studying the art of belly dancing seven years ago as one of the original members of the Moor Hips Belly Dance troupe.  She has danced and taught workshops throughout the USA and Caribbean.   Her goal is to bring attention and awareness to the true roots of ancient African Belly Dance and to promote physical, mental and emotional healing through the dance.  She is a founding member of the Belly Dancers of Color Association (BOCA) who sponsors a festival every year that brings dancers of color from all over the world.  Shaylah has been privileged to train and attend workshops with Dr. Sunyatta Amen, Tarik Sultan, Nabeela El Shalimar, Somra El Nubia and many more.  She balances dancing with her full time career as a mother of four, wife, natural childbirth educator (Bradley Method®) and doula.  Shaylah comes to you with a lot of energy and exhibits the dance in its full art form.  Be prepared to dance and move yourself to a higher level.
