..Shir o Shakar was founded in 2001 after they have seen Caroleena Nerichio performing with Fat Chance Belly Dance. They have fall in love with the idea of improvisational dance as a group. This system of improvisational dance is the basic and the specific element of Shir o Shakars dance style that gives them the possibility to create various interpretations between choreography and improvisation.
These basics are completed with the creative use of other dance forms. In this way Shir o Shakar acquires Fusion styles like Tribal Fusion, Indian Fusion and ATS Flamenco Fusion. Today the troupe has seven members, with different backgrounds of dance, like salsa, modern, classical, indian and flamenco.
Some of Shir o Shakars teachers are:
Carolena Nericcio (US), Heather Stants (US), Rachel Brice (US), Sharon Kihara (US), Geneva Bybee (US), Amy Sigil (US), Maria del Mar (BRD), Paulette Rees Denis (US), Jill Parker (US), Darshan (US), Shanti (India)
