About
Medea has been dancing at Renaissance Faires and in the SCA for over 6 years, but decided in 2004 to take it to the next level, studying briefly with renowned Seattle belly dancer, Zanbaka, and then forming her own troupe, Tribe Shakti, with her little sister, Kaiya, and a couple friends. When the troupe disbanded a year later, Medea took a small hiatus from dancing and then reemerged with a new outlook on dance and even more passion for the art form than before. She ran with this newly found inspiration and made it her mission to study with as many of her favorite dancers as possible and work on her own unique style and technique as a solo artist. In recent times, she’s had the immense pleasure of studying with Kami Liddle, Rachel Brice, Jill Parker, Zoe Jakes, Darshan, Mardi Love and Suhaila Salimpour and has created what she calls simply: ‘Fusion Belly Dance’ as she fuses bits of Cabaret, ATS, Tribal Fusion and Gothic Fusion with bits of Orissi, Kathak and Bhangra and even hip hop for a more modern touch and alternative flair. So, be prepared for something a little different…
