The Bijou Project is an award winning duet founded in
2005 by co-directors Kamini and Samara in Bend,
Oregon.  Their 20+ years of combined dance and
teaching experience has culminated in the creation of
their own unique style of Tribal Fusion Belly Dance.  

The dance style of the Bijou Project has its origins in
classic American Tribal Style (ATS) belly dance, which
most evident in their posture and cued improvisational
dancing.  Their fusion approach expands upon the
traditional ATS repertoire by incorporating movements,
gestures, music and props from a variety of ancient and
modern dance forms.  The result is a captivating
combination of modern Tribal Fusion that both defies
and honors convention.

The last four years have been an exciting time of travel,
teaching and performing both in Oregon and throughout
the West Coast.  We hope you will join The Bijou Project
as a student, audience member, or supporter as we
share our vision, our art, and our love of dance. Come
on, embrace
your inner shimmy!

"The Bijou Project is one of the most innovative tribal fusion groups I've ever seen. Their melding of
cultures and movements is truly inspirational, making the overall presentation fresh and engaging. They
experiment with unconventional props and music to create fusion dance works of art. Whether performing
a choreography or improvisation these two women move as one, with a grace and precision that is
breathtaking."  -Lila McDaniel, Luminessah
