Dark Moon Gala (December 3,2010)

Safiyeh
Safiyeh Jazzy, snazzy, quirky, artsy and soulful and definitely a little sweet, this gal is a bellydancing high school teacher and artist who expresses herself in dance through an urban blend of Classic Egyptian, African and even a bit of modern dance styling. Don't be fooled by this teacher by day....she may seem innocent but relishes seeking out victims, flirt that she is, to share the stage and infuses a lot of dangerously hot, hot sauce into every move so please don't be shocked, and ohhhhh please do not tell her principal what you saw!

Shaell

Shaell has been around belly dancing most of her life due to having a Moroccan background. She became very fascinated and highly interested in taking Tribal Fusion when she first saw Ariellah with her pop n locks and Sera Solstice with her fluid movements for the first time. She began taking belly dance classes in 2004 and also self-teaching herself by watching videos, practicing during her spare time and going to various tribal events. Shaell has taken numerous workshops from teachers like Unmata, Zoe Jakes, Ariellah, Jill Parker, Shakra, and others. Besides doing solo performances, she has been taking classes and learning from Baltimore Tribal Fusion teacher Naimah and is part of a troupe called Amandari. Shaell has been performing around the DC/VA/MD area for around 5 years now. Shaell adds spirituality and essence to her dance that involves pops n locks, intense energy, and is known for being "mysteriously moving to the audience". Shaell loves all styles of dance and continues to alter her belly dancing to incorporate new moves. Shaell also sticks by her belief which is that every dancer out there is a big inspiration to her and continues to help her grow.

 

FEATURING: Lilam

Troupe Hip'Notic Lilam Līlam is a tribal fusion bellydance troupe from Baltimore that incorporates choreography and improvisation into our performances. We dance with joy, love, and LOTS of attitude, and are known for our fun, passionate, and sometimes even conceptual dancing. We are Scarlett, Spiral, Jenn, and Talis. "Lilam" is our expression of light and dark female energy, "translated" to mean "Divinely Playing Demons/Divas/Devas."

We are enduringly grateful to our many brilliant teachers, including Latifa, Piper, Kallisti Tribal, Naimah, Carolena Nerricio, Suhaila Salimpour, Lisa Zahiya, Meklena, Rebecca Kumari Snyder, and Bastet, in whose class we started dancing together!

Lilam will be presenting both group, duet, and solo pieces.
