Gypsy Fire, Bend, Oregon's Best-known American Tribal
Style Bellydance troupe, has been mesmerizing audiences
since 1999. ATS is a modern American fusion of traditional
Middle Eastern dance movements which celebrates the
beauty, strength and grace of the female form, and the
community of women who practice it.Gypsy Fire was formed
in 1998 by director Quinn Donovan. Having studied since
1994 with FatChanceBellyDance (originators of ATS) in San
Francisco, Quinn brought this style of dance to Central
Oregon, and began Gypsy Fire. The troupe finds continuing
inspiration in our fellow dancers, and in the blossoming
variations of "classic" ATS (FCBD format). While our roots
are firmly planted in the structure set out by Carolena
Nericcio, and FCBD, we have begun to adopt movements of
various dance stylings, and have adapted them to our
troupe's dynamic, much like the Gypsies we honor in our
name. The troupe has participated in local and regional
dance events since 1999, and is proud to be a part of the
growing dance community in Central Oregon! Gypsy Fire
has established a strong visible presence in the Bend,
Oregon arts and nightlife scene, due to monthly shows at
Taj Palace, Di Lusso/Royal Blend Cafe, and participation in
local events as: Bend Summerfest, The Bite of Bend,
Procession of the Species, and Media Mania. Regional
events include: Tribal Fest (CA), Mediterranean Fantasy
Festival "Med Fest" (WA), The Oregon Country Fair (Veneta,
OR), Tribal Quest North West (Portland, OR), and the
MEDGE (Middle Eastern Dance Guild of Eugene) Fall
Festival (Eugene, OR).
