AfroBellyHippieHop

Presented by Ingrid Eyen.

In the fire circles of Deadheads and Drummers, Gypsies and Ravers, Healers and Performance Artists--anything goes. Our dance is a true reflection of our inner light bouncing off our fellow firedancers. The primal call of the African and middle-eastern drum awakens in us the various dance traditions that have evolved from its rhythmic heartbeat.

Dancing in the studio, on the stage, and around the Starwood bonfires for almost 20 years, Ingrid has collected shards of earthy, funk-based movements and pieced them together to create a mosaic of dance she calls "AfroBellyHippieHop". In this workshop, we will try-on moves taken from West African dance, Middle-Eastern Bellydance, Urban Hip Hop, and improvisational movement to stitch together our own funky signature style of body and soul expression. Let's see what light we can shine on each other!
