About Yame
My name is Yamê, and I'm a professional belly dance instructor, performer, choreographer and owner of SharqiDance, a business that empowers women to find inner joy, confidence & self-love while building a supportive community through the practice and study of belly dance.
I started my professional belly dance career around 2010-2011, when I got to be part of the Belly Dance Shimmy Workout DVD by World Dance New York, and since then I've performed at restaurants, parties, weddings, festivals and belly dance shows all over the state and across the country. I currently own and manage SharqiDance, through which I offer weekly online belly dance classes plus regular workshops and shows.
I credit my love and commitment to belly dance for saving my life. This dance is more than just a beautiful art form and way to express our femininity or learn about Middle Eastern culture. Belly dance is also a powerful tool that can help us overcome negativity, heal trauma, get through obstacles, love ourselves and enjoy life. That is why I am so passionate about sharing my knowledge and skill with others; it can literally help people heal their lives and thrive.
I've been in love with this dance since I first started it. As a student I always had an eye for how something could be explained or practiced a little differently, and while taking classes with so many different teachers over the years I observed different methods of teaching.
Teaching was a natural progression for me because I am a natural teacher, I love explaining things, sharing my knowledge and watching someone else grow and improve.
There are no standardized certifications for my style of belly dance, but I have been belly dancing for about 14 years, having studied regularly with some of the best teachers in my state and taken workshops with master teachers from Egypt and all over the world.
I took Middle Eastern history classes in college and I'm currently learning Egyptian Arabic and embarking on a 200-hour yoga teacher training.

For private students I'll get on a quick call to find out what their goals are and why they're interested in the dance so I can prepare my classes around their goals.
I'm usually able to recognize and accommodate every learning style, I am very patient with my students' struggles and very encouraging of their strengths.
I've worked with all kinds of students! As young as 5 years old and as old as 80 years young. Women, men, trans and non-binary folks. Women of all shapes and sizes from all walks of life. Of varying ethnicities and nationalities. People with no dance experience and no sense of rhythm and people who are naturally talented. Intermediate, advanced, professional, and competition-winning dancers. I've even taught people who are neurodivergent and one of my regular students is an amputee. The only thing all my students have in common is an interest in this beautiful dance!
Watch a recent video of their dancing to make sure you like it, be clear about the style you are interested in and your goals so they know what you're looking for. Talk to them and make sure their energy vibes well with yours.
My performance at the 2020 Women's Day event at 10PRL. I got to dance to live music by an all-female line-up of percussionists and to see amazing performances by other fellow female artists.

From day one almost two years ago, each lesson with SharqiDance has been full of quality, inspiring, and strengthening inside and out, dance lessons. Yame encourages body positivity. Not only that, there is a focus on overall mental, emotional, and physical health. I thought I was signing up for middle eastern dance lessons when in reality I have learned so much more about myself and my body. Since learning this dance I've been enlightened to culture, music, and movement. Through SharqiDance I've found some of my closest friends, inspiration to pursue my own female owned business, and I appreciate and my body, mind, and heart all thanks to Yame and SharqiDance. I highly recommend giving it a try.
Always starts class on time. Always does a warm up and cool down for each class. Each move is broken down and students are able to focus on that move until they are comfortable enough to try the next level/variation of it. Yame always tries to bring something new to the class so there's always going to be something interesting to learn.
Yamê is not only passionate about bellydance as an art form, but also as a way to fall in love with your body and sensuality all over again. She is patient and also challenges you to learn. I recommend her as a knowledgeable and fun bellydance instructor.
She is a superb caliber teacher. Learning with her is a treat that I cannot equate to almost anything else. She is super dedicated, exacting but without putting any stress on me, and in fact very caring that if I am hurting, I should not only take a break, but follow sound healing principles, and not have to worry about losing my payment while resting. I have made so much progress that I am completely amazed by it. Bravo 👏🏼🤗 please consider taking these classes that are aesthetically and technically perfect!
Yâme is an amazing dancer and teacher. She is very patient, creative but what I really like the most is that she is very generous. She does not hold any information and in fact she goest the extra mile providing for her students in depth information about the culture, rhythms, songs, singers, language. She has the greatest ideas all the time to keep her students engaged. Her enthusiasm is contagious!
