I’m co-producing this event with Sagit Elmaliach , the director of the Belly Dance Center in Jerusalem. We are very excited to host Bella Fuegas , Elana Brutman and KC Van De Merkt for a weekend of workshops and a show.

Bella Fuegas , KC Van De Merkt and Elana Brutman , began performing as a duet in 2004. They debuted as poi dancers and swiftly evolved into alluring hoop artists gracing the stage in multiple cities across the nation. As their ability to convey emotion through movement paralleled their polished skill level, they attained a level of uniqueness audiences rarely witnessed. To round the edge of their performance, they embarked on a study of Tribal belly dance which provided them with an opportunity to teach their art to students of an entirely new sub-culture.
