ABOUT THIS ART FORM:
The Elemental Fusion dance format is a signature style that has been under development for over 16 years, with strong roots in Tribal Bellydance and distinct flavors of Indian Classical Temple Dance, Egyptian Cabaret, Turkish, Javanese, Folk, Jazz, Butoh and Hula with elements of presence and captivating theatrics
It is an intricately structured dance form that incorporates ancient embodiment techniques and spiritual sciences for tapping into and activating the elements within the body to work in relationship with them, and integrate their gifts into our foundational dance building blocks and formulas.
Always drawing inspiration from the many faces of the Goddess in all of her forms::: Elemental Fusion Dance practices everything on both sides of the body to balance the right/left brain and acknowledge these alchemical workings as an empowering method of meditation in motion.
The elemental embodiment aspect of this dance formula imbues every movement with meaning and connects our pathways of movement with the very life force of existence itself. A treasure trove of experience and techniques for dancers at any level to enjoy learning and integrating into their personal repertoire.
TEACHER BIO:
My name is Tiare, (She/Her) I am an animist, and multi-disceplinary artist based in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, and Tualatin Kalapua, Mollala tribes - also known as Portland, OR which has been my home base for nearly 20 years.
Mystically driven, theatrical dance is my passion while my specialty’s are Fusion Bellydance, Classical Temple Dance, Vaudeville & Ritual Theatre. I was born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands and spent my formative years dancing classical ballet and Kahiko in the Hula Halau, while also studying numerous courses in theatre arts, which continued well into my adult life.
Upon moving to Portland back in 2002, I immersed myself in studying the spiritual practices of Trika Yoga, Vajrayana Sadhana with Swami Chrtanananda and Lama Wangdu Rimpoche. Ceremonial embodiment has been a lifelong pursuit and study for me, and all of my mystical practices have always played a role as key components in my Ritual Theatre offerings.
Portland is where I began my career as a performer, & toured with a circus for 8 years eventually growing into the role of teacher, choreographer, director and producer. I birthed the Valourian Theatre company here, and have produced a considerable number of shows in the Pacific NW, always bordering on the avant-garde and conjuring the wyrd. Some production history includes: The Witches Ball of the West, Rites of Beltane, The Mystic Parlor, Shatter Spell, APSARA, the Salon L’Orient series, Bogville and The Grand Bazaar. It is my personal mission to bring about an awakening in the collective of the sacredness that is in everything, our inherent magical power and the responsibility that comes with it within the web of consciousness.
I have been blessed with the amazing opportunity to teach my Ritual Theatre - Temple Tableaux Format in 9 different countries, and I am now pouring all of my loving attention into the Elemental Fusion Dance format while developing the Mystic Arts Practika

I am a certified Vinyasa yoga instructor, Vajrayogini/Chod Initiate and devotee of Hekate with an extensive background in Theatre, Fusion Bellydance, Indian Classical Temple dance, Modern Contemporary, Vaudeville, Ballet, Hula and Butoh. I currently offer regular Moon Yoga and Fusion Bellydance classes through my online platform ANIMARA, in addition to the occasional workshop immersion. I always set a goal for keeping my classes fun and encouraging, with a teaching approach that is pleasantly informative, fused with a focus on feeling good in your body, therefore easy to digest and always inspiring.
