Event Details
Cherish - Fusion Belly Dancer
As a dancer, I started taking classes in jazz and gymnastics at the age of 9 in Long Island, NY. I participated in several performances with the Hamilton School of Dance and several school performances all throughout High School.
I went on to study music, getting my B.S. in Music Education at The College of St. Rose in Albany, NY.
In 2003, I began training in American Cabaret Belly Dance with Body By Belly Dance in Albany, NY.
In 2010, after seeing a Rachel Brice performance, I turned my focus to Fusion Belly Dance and this is where my passion lies.
I perform as a soloist and I'm the co-creator of Half Moon Tribal Bellydance Troupe based out of Clifton Park, NY.
I'm the founder of Cherish Belly Dance, which produces an annual belly dance show (Hipnotic), 2 bi-monthly shows, The Bijou - Adult Variety Show & Bijou BINGO, workshops & haflas to provide a nurturing environment for the student belly dance community.
Always seeking opportunities for growth, I have taken many workshops with local, national and international artists and have had the amazing opportunity to study & perform with Jill Parker. I've completed Rachel Brice’s 8 Elements Certification Program & recently became a Certified Datura Style Teacher. I've also completed Part 1 of Jill Parker's Alchemy Dance Program.
I enjoy sharing my love of this art form through dancing, teaching, and participating in educational presentations.
Cherish is the co-creator of Half Moon Tribal Bellydance Troupe, along with Carolyn Matthei and Kezia Moore. Half Moon Tribal performers: Cherish, Carolyn, Kezia, Meghan Conklin & L Lavado. We strive to create a safe space to dance, educate & continually learn.
*DSI is based on Rachel Brice’s 8 Elements Approach to belly dance. It refers to both a dance vocabulary & and an approach to technique. Datura Style Belly Dance is a fusion of FCBD belly dance with influence from American Cabaret belly dance and more.
Half Moon Tribal is a professional belly dance troupe based out of Clifton Park, NY. Our troupe performs throughout the Capital District, including the Schaghticoke Fair, National Museum of Dance Art Festivals (Saratoga), Saratoga Tattoo Expo, the Lark Tavern (Albany), Danceland (Latham), Coalescence (Glens Falls), Arthur’s Market (Schenectady), Coxsackie Riverside Festival, along with many other venues and locations.
