My Interests

Next to their exploration of middle eastern dance the dancers have studied a lot of different dance forms which made them step outside the genre of traditional middle eastern dance and look into these other dance forms for fusion ideas. They now creatively use and combine many traditional influences and elements with their own personal expression creating innovative and progressive pieces that reflect en inspire todayâ€™s culture.

The UzumÃ© began as the first company in the Netherlands representing Tribal Fusion Belly Dance. Through their creative use of blending many dance forms, the use of traditional music mixed with electronic beats of the global underground and their personal expression of living in this day and age they have pushed the boundaries and broken new ground.

Music:

Freestyle performances to electro (clash/pop), breakbeat, breakcore, tekno, drum 'n bass, industrial, gothic, jazz, goa, funk, techno, trance, danceclash, minimal, grime, dubstep, worldgrooves, balkan, asian and oriental underground, etc.
