"Belly dance instills a sense of empowerment, strength, and community in women. Dance is more than an artform to me...it is a spiritual experience;
it is a sacred ritual."
- Lily Moonstorm
Lily performs bellydance with and without the use of props such as veils, fire fans, fire fingers, candles, poi, and swords. She also performs with a dance partner, her friendly Boa Constrictor, Mr. Slithers. Her styles vary from traditional Oriental bellydance, Gypsy (Roma,) and Turkish to Gothic, Urban Tribal, and American Tribal styles.
Lily is co-founder of the Goddess dance troupe, "Blessing Way." The troupe combines ritual and bellydance to form choreographies to honor the female essence who is the Goddess. These Goddess dances are performed as a sacred prayer for events and ceremonies such as Handfastings, Blessing Way ceremonies (honoring a mother-to-be,) and other sacred passages of life.
Lily also has performed at numerous festivals, parties, weddings and events and has studied and taken workshops with Bellydance instructors such as Helena Melone, Sabrina Lichtenwalner, Paulette Rees-Denis of 'Gypsy Caravan', Jill Parker of 'Ultra Gypsy', Heather Stants of 'Urban Tribal', Kassar, Frederique and Goddess Dancing.
She joyfully continues her study of dance and if you are interested in having belly dance lessons from Lily, contact her at lily@lilymoonstorm.com or just click on the "Contact Lily" button on the menu.
