This workshop provides an introduction to our very own Orchidaceae Family Dance Vocabulary. We will be playing with the foundations and small combos of Urban Fusion Bellydance.
Piny Orchidaceae is the founder of the Orchidaceae Family. She is a dreamer, an art lover, a passionate and intense performer and a dedicated teacher with a special taste for challenges and breaking boundaries. Born in Lisbon, she is a non-conventional performer always looking for new approaches and new understandings of movement. At 17 she finished a 3-year course in Drawing, followed by a year of Graphic Design, while she was finishing her BA in Architecture. Later she finished a post-graduate diploma in Scenography and completed a BA in Contemporary Dance and Creation while working as an Architect. During all this, she kept dancing.
She did her first Bellydance class in 2000 but felt deeply in love with Hip-Hop in 2003. In 2006, to express her love for breakdance, graffiti and vinyl records, she founded with her friends a female Hip-Hop crew called ButterflieSoulflow. In 2009, she integrated the all styles Hip-Hop crew, Jukebox Project, which develops work around Popping, Locking, New Style and Breakdance. With her crews, she battles and performs.
The passionate and relentless search for new approaches and new vocabularies led her to travel nationally and internationally to learn, listen and understand different styles. Her main areas of work are Breakdance, House Dance, Lofting, Waacking, Contemporary Dance and Tribal Fusion Belly Dance, always as a research lifetime project. As a Contemporary dancer, she has choreographed solo and group pieces shown in different national festivals and has been working as a dancer for several choreographers. In 2012 she founded Orchidaceae Urban Tribal where the Hip-Hop background meets Tribal Fusion Belly Dance. It’s a dream project just starting to grow.
