Sacred Shimmy Studio

Totally love this shot of us dancing between sprinkles at Crestfest. Congratulations on another wonderful year of your festival, and thanks for having us back!

Start a new series of Beginner Bellydance one week from today with these two divas of dance!

Sandra & Vanessa, both members of the Sacred Shimmy Studio Performance Team, are thoughful, delightful, exuberant teachers ready to share their vast knowledge with folks who are ready to learn.

Need a dose of the baddest bellydancers in Columbus? We'll be kicking off CrestFest at 11:30 AM on Saturday!

Rumor has it that the stage has been moved out of the blazing sun, so the experience will be more comfortable than ever. While our witchy hearts will miss dancing right at the crossroads, the rest of our bodies will be celebrating the shade!

Feeling a little unhinged? Do some yoga today! Everybody in your life will benefit from the version of you that shows up after a little practice.

Wanna do yoga with me and the crew? I’ll see you at 12:30 PM ET at the studio or on Zoom. Register soon so I have time to send you the link.

New Beginner Bellydance Session Starts Tuesday, July 14!

I’m so excited to launch a fresh round of Beginner Bellydance. I’ve been refining this class to bring you timeless technique in fresh ways, offering beauty, challenge, power, and joy all at once.

No experience needed! We start from the very beginning in a welcoming, body‑positive space. I break everything down step‑by‑step so you can feel confident, comfortable, and grounded in your movement.

All bodies are good bodies. All dance is good dance. No gatekeeping and perfectionism here!

Join me Tuesdays at 7:30 PM starting July 14, in‑studio at Sacred Shimmy or online from home. Register at SacredShimmyStudio.com!

The first time I heard this song, I knew I wanted to make a choreography to it. There are just so many opportunities for hip drops! Deciding to use veil for it came later, after watching a dance show with lots of veil pieces done exactly the same way. I thought, "Surely there are other ways a veil can be used in bellydance. There have to be!" And Crack of Doom was born. So far, it's the only piece an audience member has ever requested by name, and it's a favorite of a fierce little gal named that Katie that we all love, so it'll be sticking around a while.

I'm so excited to share this beautiful video of a choreography we've been working on this year!

We were recently invited to perform at SummerWorks, a showcase of local dance companies curated by Columbus Dance Alliance.

We chose to feature this dynamic sword and fusion bellydance choreography. The movement sequence was created by me for sword class, and the staging was created as a class exercise. Later, three of us went back in and added the non-sword fusion component.

Thanks for for making such an exciting piece of music for us to work with, and thanks to the CDA for their ongoing work to elevate and feature Columbus dancers!

My next six-week session of Beginner Yoga starts next Monday, June 29. I've half-jokingly started calling this class "Yoga for Cranky Perimenopausal Folks and Other Sympathetic Souls." At the beginning of every session, I ask the class what their goals are, and as women of a certain age, the hormonal roller coaster often guides our selections. Our current concerns are things like knee pain, back pain, pelvic floor integrity, and building strength.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, come hang out with us. You don't have to be a cranky perimenopausal person to attend, but that's the current vibe of the room.
