Gothic Belly Dance Returns

Imagine this - it’s 2008, everyone is smoking cloves and the DJ is blasting Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Clan of Xymox, Joy Division…and you’re ready to dance in your brand new corset belt. We’re taking it back to the height of the Gothic belly dance craze with some delightfully dark combos to the best music, old and new.

Bringing Back Old School Belly Dance

Drake von Trapp and I are bringing old school belly dance back in our Fusion de Pátina workshop weekend.

  • Hear ye, hear ye! Dancing at the renaissance faire is one of the oldest traditions in American belly dance history. This environment is unlike any other, which produced its own unique stylization. Explore the campy, joyous, full-bodied intentionality of this dynamic style.
