The Core of Tribal Fusion: The latest and greatest from the Bay Area...

They will include a never-before seen combined force of both Rose and Deb's
ground-breaking and core-shaking Core Integration for Bellydance, and then
applying it to phenomenal tribal technique and new stylized fusion choreography...

We will be offering 2 workshops but they compliment each other so we recommend signing up for both!

Rose Harden has performed and taught extensively with Ultra Gypsy throughout the United States and Europe and is a founding member of the Barbary Coast Shakedown. Both projects have pushed the boundaries of belly dance and sought to honor belly dance with exquisite artistry and phenomenal technique.

In the past 3 years as co-director of Ultra Gypsy she has been a contributing force in the company’s dynamic choreography, and innovative costuming. As a performing member of Ultra Gypsy for over 7 years, her style is influenced by Jill Parker and inspired by the diversity of the San Francisco BayArea performance community.

Rose also performs with the Cyclecide Bike Rodeo and The Lifesize Mousetrap. When she is not performing, Rose manages Rosehips Designs, her costuming and clothing company.

Over 7 years of performing and teaching with Ultra Gypsy and her newest project, the Barbary Coast Shakedown, have given her unique insight to sharing the essentials of great technique, dynamic presence and the joy of this dance form.

Debra Rubin, MA, CMT, RYT has been a life-long dancer and performer, trained and proficient in many styles.

She has been a 5+year core performer, choreographer, and teacher with the ground-breaking, trend-setting Ultra Gypsy Bellydance Theater (until Fall 2007), and a regular sub for Jill Parker’s classes. She has also studied from, performed with, and been majorly influenced by Zoe Jakes, Mardi Love, Rose Harden, Mira Betz, Liz Strong, and Rachel Brice.

Deb teaches and performs around the Bay area and beyond. She is seeped in rock solid Tribal technique, while also pushing the creative edge of exploration and fusion, to create her own grounded, unique performance and teaching style. A holistic health counselor, yoga teacher, and integrative body-worker, Deb is also the founder of Sattya Body Healing Arts and Dance Collective. She teaches classes, workshops, and retreats fusing women’s health and empowerment with yoga, tribal bellydance, nature, and creative expression.

Deb has taught at Kosmos World Music and Dance Camp, and at festivals and healing conferences around the globe. Most recently, she is assisting Rachel Brice in her 5-day March Las Vegas intensive.
