Say goodbye to boring and complicated classes and hello to an empowering community that celebrates YOUR unique beauty
Are you signing up for gyms and classes promising you'll go...
but after a short time, you fall off the wagon?
Do you feel out of place in classes...
because you're the oldest person in the room?
Not being able to stay consistent with your fitness can be disheartening.
But the thought of getting on the monotonous treadmill makes you want to stay home and entering a dance class with complex moves makes you want to give up.
Now you are left wondering if there's even a program out there that's actually fun and that you'll stick with.
The good news...YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Hi, I'm Oreet
I know what it feels like to not fit in. Whether it was my skill level, age, size, gender or religion, I've experienced the struggle firsthand. I was desperate to conform, but I lost my motivation and wanted to hide.
I later learned that conforming was NOT the answer, and those very characteristics are what make US beautiful! And that's what I've built my community around - celebrating every ability, every shade, every story, and every voice.
Here at SharQui, students aren't just students, and instructors aren't just instructors - we're family. And I want YOU to be a part of it as I'm confident that this will be THE program you get addicted to.
It would be an absolute honor for you to dance with us. Your beautiful journey starts here, my friend.

To participate in live classes, you’ll need a device capable of joining zoom calls. For class recordings, you’ll need a device that can access an internet browser and stream online video. Laptops, smartphones, and tablets all work great! To get the most out of live classes, we recommend having your webcam turned on so your instructor can see you and provide feedback.
Don’t worry, you won’t need any special equipment! Find a spot with at least 3ftx3ft of open space and you’re good to go.

No problem! Replays of every class are available within 48 hours of the end of the class and stay online for 30 days.
We love our studio members! Our members-only Facebook group is vibrant and supportive. In addition to friendly chats before and after classes, we offer regular haflas and member meetups. Everything is online, so you’ll love the studio if you’ve been feeling the lack of a local bellydance community.

Meet Oreet
When people ask me what I do, I say:
"I help remind people that they are already Beautiful, Strong and that they CAN do it, dammit!"
And when it comes to turning people who think, "I can't bellydance!" into "Oh snap, I really can and damn I'm fabulous!" - I'm the one.
As you've probably guessed, teaching people how to bellydance while getting a sweat (and having fun) is my sweet spot!
And when I'm not teaching or mentoring, you can find me working on new projects, doing yoga, rolling around with my kids and my wacky dog, Nala, while sipping wine and binge watching our favorite shows with my hubby, Steven.
And if you've just GOT to know more…
I'm obsessed with shows about wedding gowns,
I’m a wine, doggie and Starbucks freak,
And…I’m living proof that you can look bigger than you are on stage! (Even at 4'10. Shhhh..don't tell)
