About Me

Dance Ethnotica is the dream baby of Sharon Phillips, dancer/performer/artist and more...

Ethnotica is a collaboration of inspiration where nature and the machine collide.

Dark and yet full of light, and in this room yet distant. Ethnotica is a sunset of emotion and a forrest of solitude where magic is caught playing with fact.

A re-fusion of tradtional Middle Eastern with modern, jazz, urban and ethnic dance influences layed over a backdrop of otherworldly music.

To dance is to dream. Dance frees us from the confines of our bodies and minds and creates a strength and vulnerability when needed...Curious? Or know someone who might be?

We are inspired for the wrong reasons.

We are inspired at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. We wait for some muse to lift us up, We wait for that muse to whisper secrets of sensually surreal possibilities. We work at our best under t...
