About Me

I am the co-director of L'imprevu Bellydance with my dance partner and best friend,
L'imprevu is French for the unexpected and that is what you will see.
We have a combined 22 years of dance experience with the last 5 years of it exclusively in Bellydance. Nari's bellydance background includes studies in American Cabaret, Egyptian, Turkish, ITS and Tribal Fusion. Obsidia's bellydance background includes studies in American Cabaret, ITS and Tribal Fusion.
We also have backgrounds in theater allowing us to create unique theatrical performances that harken back to the vaudeville shows of yesteryear.
We combine technique with sauciness and a bit of comedy.
Classes will be forming in both Houston and Bedford (Mid Cities area) will be forming in May...details coming soon....
There will also be June workshop details coming soon. The workshop will be held at Obsidia's home studio, "Vagabond Salon", in Bedford TX and limited to 7 participants due to space.
Nari is beginning a monthly community hafla at Avant Garden called Vagabond Bellydance..Details are posted!!!!!
