Greetings and welcome to my page.
I am Saahirah Rayvn, one of Australias premiere Gothic Fusion Bellydancers spearheading this beaitful dakr artform in Brisbane. I am an experienced highly sort after performer and entertain audiences of all ages, walks of life, regulary in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I also specialise in sword dance, one of the most popular aspects of my dance.
I guess the first question you will ask is - 'what is Gothic Fusion?" Well in very simple terms, it is a darker more dramatic, theatrical version of traditional or "normal Bellydance. The originsof Gothic Bellydance probably began with the first goth who attended bellydance class. The Gothic subculture are people drawn to dark art, literature, music and film. We tend to be highly imaginative, artistic, well educated and passionate. We love to dress-up and use our "fashion style" as a way of self expression.
Gothic Bellydance is still relatively new in Australia, but is fast gaining popularity, and acceptance as a valid danceform in its own right. Gothic Bellydancers draw on and are inspired by dark imagery and dreamscapes. We take aspects from our subculture and blend them with the beautiful dance style Bellydance. Our dance is a package of darkwave music, decadent costuming, with an etheral, gloomy, mysterious and hypnotical element/ atmosphere.
In addition to being a performer, I am one of the few gothic bellydance teachers in Australia. I am the only teacher to teach my style of Gothic Fusion and Gothic Sword dance. I am available for workshops, tuition and performance. I will travel for those who want to experience Saahirah Rayvn but whom are not situated within the Brisbane area.
A side project that I have started is Ruby Rose - Gothic Burlesque. For more information on her please visit Ruby Roses myspace page - see my top friends.
I am proud to be part of the Tribal Blossom Familly a Tribal Bellydance School and performance troupe based in Brisbane. Tuition and workshops in Tribal dance and sword is available. We can also arrange performance packages if you would like a colourful clan of bellydancers, sword collective as well as Saahirah Rayvn. Visit Dees myspace page - see my top friends - for more information.
