Zahara Fusion

Zahara Fusion is a troupe dedicated to exploring and celebrating the art of bellydance.

The dance form evolved in women’s circles formed to celebrate marriage and prepare the new bride for her womanly responsibilities. The women came together in the dance again to support the mother through the birth of her child—often dancing around her while she labored. The birthing mother herself would use the round movements of the dance to help move her baby down and out, easing the trials of labor through these movements.

Zahara Fusion was born from this supportive-woman-community mind frame. As a group, our focus is to learn the basics and refine our skills together with improvisations and choreographies that incorporate both traditional and modern bellydance forms including American Tribal, Cabaret, Egyptian, and even some Bollywood styles.

You can join in the celebration by booking Zahara Fusion for your next event, or by joining a class to learn to dance yourself! Please explore this site to find more information.
