Hybrid: the distinct offspring of a mixed union…
"Athleticsm and grace. A balance of light and dark. Intensity and subtlety. Hybrid Belly Dance is the smooth fusion of cultures and the sharp integration of styles. Influenced by a background in Tae Kwon Do, Gymnastics and Musical Theatre, the dynamic intensity of a competitive athlete and the theatricality of a stage performer shape Hybrid Belly Dance performances. Be it the channeling of a jungle cat or a rose petal, Bevin Victoria will tell you a story through movement, and she’s calling you to come along for the journey…
Duality in motion- this is Hybrid BellyDance"

To dance is to be out of yourself, larger, more powerful, more beautiful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

A life long competitive athlete in gymnastics and Tae Kwon Do, Bevin Victoria began her studies in Tribal belly dance at Gypsy Caravan Studio in 2007. She quickly became a lead dancer and assistant choreographer for Gemini Project, a contemporary (belly) dance company directed by Dulcinea Meyers-Newcomb of Gypsy Caravan Dance Company. Drawing inspiration from dance greats like Gene Kelly, the Nicholas Brothers, Cyd Charrise and the pioneers of tribal style dance, early on Bevin Victoria aspired to bring a focused and athletic approach to her dance training, creating intentional art pieces with a stylistic specificity that would foster her love of theatricality and character driven dance work. In the following years she went on to explore and push the limits of this genre by infusing her extensive training in classical ballet, lyrical hip-hop and musical theatre, thus creating the hybrid of dance expression that is Hybrid Tribal Fusion.
She has since toured the US and Europe with the Balkan/Gypsy Jazz band The Underscore Orkestra and is the featured dancer with New England area band, Klezwoods. Additionally, she is a member of the Portland-based vaudeville show, Sepiatonic, the Copacabana Samba Show of L.A., and a fire performer in Fire & Steel Troupe. In 2012 she co-produced the acclaimed belly dance theatre production VERSIPELLIS and she was honored to receive the International Tribal Star Award (Tribal Festival Hanover).
She has been an instructor and performer for Jamballah NW, Tribal Festival of Hanover, Germany and Tribal Weekend Kiev, Ukraine. As a certified Personal Trainer, black belt in Tae Kwon Do, SCA heavy fighter and competitive gymnastics coach, Bevin Victoria enjoys teaching workshops specializing in dance fitness, Hybrid dance technique and sharing her deep love of and endless fascination with this dynamic art form.
She is the producer of the monthly bellydance revue Café Raqs! and in early 2013 she co-founded Urban Nomad Dance Company and is excited to share the Urban Nomad vision of authentic and intentional Tribal Fusion dance with the world.
