Shannon "Ziggy" Hoyer

The old saying - “If you can walk, you can dance…” - rings true to Bellydance instructor, Ziggy.  She began formal dance training at the age of 4 years old with Scottish Highland Dancing, then moved into Irish dancing, Ballroom, Latin dance, Argentine Tango, Hip-Hop, and many others.
Ziggy found her true dance passion in Belly Dance in 2005 and has been "madly in love" with it ever since.  Ziggy trained under Viscount's own Tiffany Slottke (local instructor and performer extrordinaire!) who instilled in Ziggy a love of the community, the music, and above all else, the dance. Since 2005, Ziggy has lived and breathed the life of a Portland Bellydancer by performing regularly throughout Portland, and continuing her training with some of the areas great Belly Dance performers.   Ziggy has been assisting in Tiffany's classes for  over a year, and we are proud to have her  on as our  primary  Bellydance instructor.  Students will enjoy Ziggy's enthusiasm and encouraging teaching style  as they grow to love the dance form as well!
