Belly dancer Belinda Underwood has been dancing since she was a child. For the last eight years, she has been studying belly dance exclusively, approaching the dance from a firm yoga and pilates background. She brings elements of the world's folk art traditions together with her own luscious and unique soul-creations. An artist and traveler, she has visited many exotic lands in order to study the roots and living masters of those traditions. Belinda has studied extensively with masters from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Montreal, Miami, Cairo and Alexandria Egypt, Istanbul, Paris, and Portland OR. She has traveled multiple times to Egypt and Turkey to study dance and music, bringing a deeper understanding to the dance art by learning the history and theory of the music as well. Belinda currently works as a musician, dancer, and dance/music instructor in Portland, Or. Live appearance schedule is here.
