Gypsy Fire is Bend, Oregon's best-known
American Tribal Style Bellydance troupe, and 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 Fat
Chance Belly Dance (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.
