Who

Moria

Moria's enigmatic stage presence is born from a history of training in San Francisco bellydance technique that combines the Salimpour method, stylization from The Indigo, and Fat Chance posturing. Remembering her mother's early practice of bellydance, her father's study of yoga, and from what later became a background of classical dance and theatre in her youth, Moria was moved to exclusively study bellydance after graduating Magne Cum Laude from the University of California, Irvine.

Inspired by the spirit of bellydance as it allows for the organic and gypsy nature of life to move serpentine through space, her personal fusion of circus art, theatre make-up, and rich costuming brings a grace and elegance to tribal bellydance that evokes the majestic. She has performed music and dance in collaboration with Suhaila and Jamilla Salimpour via Bal Anat and The Suhaila Dance Company; with Ziah Ali via Awalim; and currently with Rachel Brice and Sharon Kihara via The Bellydance Superstars. Moria performs and teaches internationally and is well loved within the bellydance community and beyond.

What

CHAKRA BELLYDANCE In Hindu mythology and yogic study, there are seven energy centers within the body that can be stimulated via specific physical movements, breath work, and visualizations. Using bellydance movements, breath work, and color visuals, Moria will clearly lead dancers along an energetic path that not only practices muscular isolation as it pertains to bellydance, but also takes the dancer a step further to use these isolations to tap the chakra energy-centers in order to promote increased energy, relaxation, creativity, intuition, emotion, voice, and expression. When using your refined muscular techniques to delve into the energetic centers of the body, bellydance can become the living dance of a yogi.
