LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF🌻

Hey my lovelies, I’ve got a lot of new faces on here so thought I’d do a little introduction for those who don’t quite know me yet🫂.

My name is Sharai, pronounced sha-rye (somebody always asks🥹) and I’m a creative babe based in South London. I offer workshops and classes centred around movement and/or expression.

I believe that we need more opportunities to have fun without “getting it right”, and havens to land in that allow for real vulnerable and human conversations. Life is a lot sometimes, but how often do we get to voice that to others or simply let loose?

Essentially every space that I hold or put out into the world is a space that either didn’t exist for me when I needed it to, or doesn’t happen enough around me. I’m just doing the things that I think should exist in the mainstream!

I’m a dancer, circle facilitator and certified stretching coach. I also hold a L2 certificate in counselling skills💗. You can expect dance workshops, sharing circles and deep stretch sessions from me this year🫶🏽.

I’ll be posting about any upcoming events on this page, and my DMs are always open to you if you have any questions, hesitations or worries. Also always interested in feedback and hearing what sort of workshops you’d like to see from me!

Stay blessed🤍 by @softplaysharai

One of the BEST feelings is when you finally get a step, and this one of my favourite class memories to date🥹⁠.⁠
⁠
⁠
~⁠
Sometimes a movement or step can feel a bit tricky on the body, which is totally normal when you're starting on the heels journey. You might not get it during your first class but trust and believe that you will get it eventually if you keep at it. Some of my beautiful girlies were initially struggling with this combo, so we took a second to break it down and repeat until it stuck. As you can see, it most definitely stuck💅.⁠
⁠
Shoutout the reactions from the others in my class, we don't play around when it comes to support. we ALL win together!🫂 ⁠

Always a safe space❤️⁠
⁠
⁠
~⁠
At the end of a workshop, we do a check-in to see what you gained from the session. It's a lovely way to ground before we head back off to our busy lives, and for many of you who attend it's a beautiful moment to reflect on the workshop and congratulate yourself for showing up. I'm always incredibly proud of my students for attending but it's even better to see you feeling proud of yourselves🥹.⁠
⁠
A win is a win is a win💐⁠.⁠

Because they most certainly, ate that✨💅⁠
⁠
⁠
~⁠
In the workshops, we break down the steps in ways to really help them stick as everyone learns differently! Whether it be counts or a 'bounce, bounce, SMACK, up'😂, I encourage you to use the method that works best for your brain and memory. As you can tell by my reaction, I was incredibly excited to see everyone so in sync!😮‍💨⁠
⁠
Come catch us next weekend to catch some of these vibes🥰⁠

ATTENTION Y’ALL, THE SUNDAY SESSIONS ARE BACK🥹😩🌻

Starting this Sunday 7th April, and running consecutively each month thereafter (more dates TBC).

I know it’s been a minute😮‍💨 but I’m really excited to bring these workshops back. Journaling has changed my life in so many ways and I hope to bring some of the magic to anyone who joins me.

Navigating life can be very tricky at the best of times, and I’m hoping that these sessions can help you make a bit more sense of whatever it is that you are going through. Please come exactly as you are, if you know me by now then you know it’s always a safe space🫂

LET’S TALK WALKS👠

We’ll always start off sessions with some walks across the floor. A strong walk sets up the tone for all of your heels dancing. I task you with different tempos, variations, all whilst trying to maintain a sense of balance (harder than it looks, iykyk!) Wobbles are always expected and welcomed, it means you’re training!✨

How beautiful do these ladies look🥹 watching back class footage never fails to make me happy. I’ve even seen ridiculous growth in some of these women who have trained with me before, all in the space of a month!😍 Thank you always for trusting myself and pushing yourselves to learn and train❤️. taken in BPM Dance Studios by @softplaysharai

💬THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SOULETTO SERIES SO FAR🤍.

These messages may seem small but they mean SO much to me. They are a testament to the power of safe spaces, sisterhood and beautiful energies coming together to create something magical.

Thank you to all of those who choose to train with me, and for those who don’t, it’s safe to say you’re missing out just a tad😋💗

Love you all 4L and thank you for making my dream come true with this. We go again in a couple of weeks!👠👠👠 by @softplaysharai

The smiles at the end say it all🤍

Still processing the fact that I finally actualised my workshop and it turned out better than I ever could have dreamed. Thank you to all of the beautiful energies in the room, you filled my cup all the way up and I appreciate you all more than you could ever imagine🤍

My heart was beaming as I flicked through all the footage of the day, I’m so proud of every single one of you and myself also. Would you believe some of these ladies have never taken a dance class before? INSANE😍

Your trust means the world and thank you from the bottom of my heart🤍

Until the next one, which will be sooner than you think, keep shining my loves🌻 by @softplaysharai

SCREENSHOT AND SAVE FOR LATER

Today’s Sunday Session was such a beautiful release, and one that I didn’t know I needed so much. Thought I’d share some of the questions from the workshop for anyone who may need it!🌻🤍

I always recommend at least 30 minutes for a journaling session but if you’re new to the practice then start off with 10 minutes and see how you go🤞🏽.

Let me know if you liked the prompts and if you want more videos like this🫶🏽
