About Fusion Belly Dance:   Movement vocabulary is drawn from the more traditional Middle Eastern/Oriental folkloric styles and blended with a variety of other dance forms (including modern, jazz, ballroom, hip-hop, and more) resulting in an approachable, artistic style that at once encompasses the elegance and beauty of belly dance and the clean, precise movements of western dance forms.  Fusion belly dance is endlessly adaptable and lends itself to an astounding range of expressive possibilities.
