Fusion Bellydance (often known as Tribal Fusion) is characterised by precise isolations, fluid undulations, and serpentine, intentional movement, combined with a deeply embodied and body-positive approach to self-expression. It draws from both traditional and contemporary influences, creating a unique and evolving dance form. Your teacher, Sarah Moulton, brings a lifetime of dance experience, weaving together elements of Bellydance, Indian classical dance, contemporary, and ballet into her distinct fusion style.
