World renown bellydancer, Moria Chappell, graces stages around the globe bringing the exquisite art of Tribal Fusion Bellydance to its utmost in elegance, darkness and intensity of expression. Tribal Fusion is an eclectic expression of the moves and emotions born from the country and heart of the Middle East and beyond. With an underpinning of the old, the authentic and by using the antiqued jewelry, textiles and musical instruments connoting the essence of these ancient cultures, an American ear for industrial rebellion is the juxtaposed and layered atop thereby weaving the contemporary myth, styles and beliefs of a modern era. Creating a mixture that is enchanting darkness, Moria embodies the mythos of a modern industry and a forgotten ancestry.
