Change is an inherent and inseparable part of movement; dance is an extending embrace of rhythm through the endlessly spiraling of change movements. ~Samara Samara was introduced to dance at age five through classical ballet. This training continued for fifteen years until injury forced to her to seek a gentler form of dance. After two years of experimenting with various forms of bellydance she found her passion in tribal dance through classes with the Gypsy Caravan (Portland, OR). After reaching the performance level in 2001 she relocated to pursue educational goals. At this time she began dancing and choreographing for Earthdance (Welches, OR). Another move led her to Central Oregon where she Co-founded the Bijou Project, tribal fusion bellydance troupe. Samara has had the pleasure of being a teacher and performer in the Oregon bellydance community for over a decade. During this time she has been gifted with opportunities to dance, teach, and learn with a family of friends in Portland, Welches, Corvallis, Bend, and most recently Eugene and Albany. Current ventures include collaborations with local dancers in the Purple Iris Tribe, the Bijou Project, and solo works. |
