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).
