About Moria:
Moria Chappell travels across the globe performing and teaching the exquisite art of tribal fusion bellydance.
Beginning her dance career in Atlanta, GA in 2001 with the Tribal Fusion belly dance troupe Awalim Dance Company, Moria moved to San Francisco in 2005 to study with The Suhaila Dance School, and was invited to join The Suhaila Dance Company and Bal Anat, from which she learned the extreme muscle control and isolation fundamental to her current style.
That same year she was invited to join The Bellydance Superstars and thus her world travels began. Moria has headlined more than 100 dance festivals worldwide and continues to tour as a soloist performing and teaching all that she has learned throughout her global travels.
In the last 10 years Moria has traveled to Thailand, India, Cambodia, Singapore, China, Hawaii, Tahiti, Easter Island, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and beyond to find the oldest styles of temple and sacred dance to learn and incorporate into her field of study, performances, and workshops. Because of her eye witness and first hand exposure to the lands and people of the pockets of the Earth that still hold ancient dances intact, her research is unique, genuine, and authentic.
About the workshop:
TEMPLE DANCE FUSION incorporates sacred temple and royal court dances from ancient India, Java, Cambodia, China, and Hawaii.
Over the course of the past decade, Moria has traveled to these countries to learn from dance instructors who have kept the secrets and techniques of their
traditions alive as part of a chain of knowledge handed down across thousands of years.
The intricacies of these dances, layered and blended with Tribal Fusion belly dance techniques, produce a beautiful tableaux of what is most inspiring and captivating from these cultures including dance styles, unique props, costuming, jewelry, make-up, and hair design.
The goal of the workshop is for dancers to learn basic temple dance techniques from a variety of cultures in order to embellish their performance repertoire and add to it unique and exciting stylistic elements from the world of Odissi Fusion, Javanese Fusion, Cambodian & Chinese Apsara Fusion, and Hula Fusion.
When working with Moria, you will receive authentic information from primary sources.
Her instructors treasure their sacred temple and royal court dances and wish to impart them to serious and devoted students of their ancient and beloved cultural heritage.
