Sharon Jones
When Sharon first witnessed aerial silks in 2018, she was intrigued, and wondered if she had the strength and finesse needed to participate. After hard work and determination, she learned to appreciate the art and fell in love with the beautiful and graceful dance.
In 2020, Sharon started extensive instructor training for aerial silks under the guidance and mentorship program of Cheryl Bushey, owner of Artfit in Lubbock, Texas. Since 2020, Sharon has also cross trained in lyra, pole fitness, and belly dance and realized they all complement each other. Training in these arts has transformed her life, inspiring her to stay humble, relentless, and even changing both physically and mentally.
Sharon has a great passion for dance of all forms but her heart is in the art of aerial silks, lyra, pole fitness, and belly dancing so teaching these classes is a dream come true for her. Sharon enjoys teaching in which she brings a cheerful spirit and encourages each student to learn at their own pace. She also finds great satisfaction in watching her students gain strength and to overcome their fears. Sharon is a firm believer that most things are possible, so she is sure to challenge you and take you to the next level!

Deanna Dickey
Deanna has always felt a deep connection to sound vibrations, sensing their energy from an early age. Her understanding of vibrational energy is rooted in the wisdom of her ancestors, though it took time to fully embrace her gifts. A transformative road trip became the turning point, leading to profound self-discovery and a deeper connection to sound. Her first sound bath was a life-changing moment allowing her to manifest her vision, heal on a deeper level, and step fully into her purpose.
Guided by this awakening, she became a certified sound practitioner, immersing herself in the study of vibrational frequencies and her powerful effects on the mind, body, and spirit. She began her journey in California and later relocated to Oregon, where she now shares the profound benefits of sound vibrations with others.
With seven years of experience in early childhood education, she brings a compassionate and intuitive approach to her work. Through immersive sound bath experiences, she helps others release blockages, restore balance, and awaken their inner clarity. Her mission is to create transformative spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves and embrace the healing power of sound.
