Odissi Tribal Fusion

Sunday June 7 2~Hour Workshop

ODISSI TRIBAL FUSION offers the dancer a methodology for integrating this rapidly growing art form into her belly dance performances.

As harbinger of this specific style of fusion, Moria was the first to bring these two styles of movement together, and now instructs dancers in the way she learned, created, and now performs this unique combination of esthetics.

Passed from Guru to student for thousands of years, Odissi Indian Temple dance is one of the oldest classical dance forms on Earth.

Moria spends time annually in Orissa (the homeland of Odissi) intensively studying and performing this exquisite dance, as well as researching and learning weekly from her Indian-born guru in America, Ratna Roy, who was a pupil of the last living Mahari (sacred temple dancer).

Moria's Odissi temple dance fusion workshop is designed for you to learn Odissi’s most fundamental combinations and exercises and how they can be applied to your Tribal Fusion belly dance performances and practice.

In ODISSI TRIBAL FUSION you will learn the body isolations, temple stance, Odissi posture, sacred geometry, and mudras of this ancient devotional dance and how these profound elements can be applied to modern music and movement.

Tribal Fusion Fundamentals

Sunday June 7 2~Hour Workshop

TRIBAL FUSION FUNDAMENTALS teaches the postures, hand articulation, essential combinations, and spinning techniques that comprise the foundation of Tribal Fusion belly dance.

In this exciting and informative workshop, Moria shares the lifted postures, torso articulations, arm positiong and hip movments that overlap to form fusion combinations.

For dancers who are new to tribal fusion, or for those who are looking for new fusion combinations and fresh inspiration, Moria will methodically, comprehensively, and creatively teach drills, patterns and choreography to help dancers invigorate their newfound fusion expression.
