About Us
SharqiDance was founded by Yamê in 2017, after nearly a decade of performing and teaching belly dance professionally.
Our mission and vision for SharqiDance is twofold:
1. To foster a space where women can learn how to move their bodies in beautiful new ways, while bonding with and supporting each other throughout their journey.
We understand that for many of us, dancing is not a skill that comes naturally. But we firmly believe that with good guidance, practice, and time, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
Our hope is to empower our clients not only to dance more confidently, but to feel more empowered in all aspects of their lives!
2. To provide a consistent, top-notch education in Egyptian style belly dance and Arabic music for belly dance.
We have been offering ongoing weekly classes for all levels of dancers since 2017 in New Jersey, possibly the longest-running ongoing classes in the region!
We've also been offering ongoing, live weekly online classes since 2020. Our online classes are some of the most interactive and personalized on the market.
And in 2024 we've expanded our offerings to include ongoing weekly classes in Arabic percussion: the only consistent darbuka classes in New Jersey, available both in person and online!
