Acknowledgment of Culture

We acknowledge that the performances presented by Bluefire Bellydancers have their foundations in the dance movements of the cultures originating in the countries of South West Asia and North Africa. The dances of this region are many and diverse. They have evolved over centuries and continue to transition and change. Dance is a way of culturally connecting without words, and we embrace it as a multicultural art form.

​

Our performances draw inspiration from these rich traditions and also incorporate a variety of global dance styles and movement vocabularies. Through this fusion approach, we aim to celebrate both the origins and the evolving nature of belly dance. Our pieces are created with respect and appreciation for the cultural sources we draw from, while also exploring new artistic expression through blending traditions and contemporary forms.

We acknowledge our audience members from the region and know that we are privileged that you share your love of music and dance with us. We are all travellers through life and through dance, and we dance with and for all—here and across the world.
