Sharon Kihara began
studying classical ballet and jazz dance at age 4, before
transferring her love to Cabaret bellydance at age 14 and finally
Tribal Style.
Sharon has been
performing and teaching Tribal fusion bellydance in the San
Francisco Bay area and abroad since 1999, and touring with the
Bellydance Superstars since early 2004.
She is a member of the
school of her most notable teacher, Suhaila
Salimpour, as well as "The Indigo" with Rachel Brice. In addition to
bellydance, Sharon loves modern and Afro-Haitian dance, pilates and
yoga.
She is a trained vocalist and has toured as a singer in vocal jazz
ensembles. She has performed as a dancer and fire performer with
Rabbit on the Moon Productions and esteemed circus company El Circo,
sharing stages with such acts as Missy Elliot and the Black Eyed
Peas.
When not touring with the
Superstars, Sharon teaches, travels internationally and is
interested in finding new ways to better the situations of women
worldwide, through the realm of art and beyond.
