***THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO TERM 2. NEW DATES TO BE CONFIRMED.***Embodied Fusion Bellydance Performance Art Project
Level 2
Troupe Session: March 14th 6:15-8:15pm (Murwillumbah)
Troupe Session: April 4th 6:15-8:15pm (Byron)
Performance Night: April 5th 6:00-8:00pm (Burringbar)
This is an ADD-ON to our 8 week courses and all performance project students must also attend the current term 8 week course to learn the choreography.
The Embodied Fusion Bellydance Performance Art Projects are an opportunity for students to showcase the choreographies learnt in the 8 week courses within a safe and supportive environment. Performers will share their dance at an end-of-term Dance Showcase performance night and celebration of dance at Burringbar Hall; a low pressure setting surrounded by bellydance tribe, family and friends.
On top of the 8 week courses, performance project students will need to be in attendance to 2 Friday troupe sessions (one in Murwillumbah, one in Byron), where all performance students from each course location will get together to focus on the following core components so that choreography is ready to bring to stage:
• Troupe Formations & Transitions
• Choreography Practice & Polishing
• Performance Presence
• Embodied Expression
• Building Troupe Sisterhood
There’s many layers of benefits available through the art of performance, for both the performer & the witness. The depths of healing, expansion, embodiment & activation that can be found are exponential, again for both performer & witness.
These projects are giving permission to all students to take up space & to be witnessed, in their FULLNESS. This is not about perfection or meeting unrealistic standards. This is not about how you look or the size/shape of your body. This is about embodying an expression of the feminine through art from a deeply felt sense, & bringing that to stage as a pure and raw transmission of WOMAN. AND finding lightness, joy & fun along the way.
This is a safe & supportive container for students to confront their fear of being seen. It seeks to build sisterhood within the troupe & redefine what is often a very competitive environment (the performance world).
Students will get the fun and creative opportunity to dress up in costume for their performance. Price includes a custom made skirt to keep which will be used for future performances. Sizes XS-XL available, additional costs apply for alterations if desired or pattern creation of sizes outside of current range. Students can choose their own top that matches the troupe costuming theme.
The Performance Art Projects are facilitated by Malika Moon
with assistance by Claudia Bowen.

WHAT IS FUSION BELLYDANCE?
Fusion Bellydance is a modern dance style that blends traditional Middle Eastern bellydance with elements of other dance forms, cultures & disciplines. It is a highly versatile & creative style that began to take form in the 1980's & it has evolved exponentially over the decades to incorporate so many individual expressions of this dance.
Embodied Fusion Bellydance is Malika Moon’s unique interpretation of this ancient artform, which is inspired by her deep personal inner journey with this dance. The intention behind Embodied Fusion Bellydance is to weave this dance into ones life as a self-healing tool & spiritual practice.
This contemporary expression of Bellydance is powerful, sensual & mesmerising. With slow, snake-like movements & hypnotic hip rhythms, gateways to healing are opened through a deeply embodied presence & the activation of our sacral centre, our wombs.
This dance invites one in to the realms of primordial feminine essence our wombs contain; into the delicious realms of femininity & sensuality, enabling deeper attunement to the inner landscape & the language of the body. These movements can be a potent tool to one’s embodiment journey as the polarity between flow & discipline, feminine & masculine, play out in each dancer.
Fusion Bellydance is generally danced to less traditional music such as world music, trap, temple bass, dub, dub-step, r&b and more.
Malika’s classes are well known for her incredible playlists as she utilizes her deep connection to music, rhythm & the energetics of sound to create a mindfully curated musical journey of neo-beats that is impeccably in synch with each of her unique expressions of the dance.
ABOUT MALIKA
Having journeyed deep into the underworld of her own shadows, Malika’s movement experience expands beyond linear knowledge & the 12 years she’s been bellydancing.
After decades living in a paralytic fear of being seen, overwhelming shame & total disconnection from the heart & body, Malika found her way onto a deep healing path which immediately became intricately entwined with her Bellydance journey.
Malika has been teaching for over 5 years & is deeply passionate about teaching both the technique of this dance & facilitating a journey that inspires growth & empowerment in her students. Malika's experience in trauma & mental health have inspired her gentle facilitating style; & her devotion to personal evolution via presence & embodiment is woven throughout her Bellydance offerings.
