There is no force in the universe stronger than women determined to rise.
Rising Phoenix Belly dance is a Tribal fusion Group that takes belly dancing to the edge. Having a strong back ground in tradional, folkloric and ATS, Rising Phoenix fuses all this plus Classical Indian dance, hip hop and modern to create an entirely new genre of belly dance. Focusing on intricate choreography, strong technique, and modern artistry, Rising Phoenix is a Utah favorite. The women in Phoenix have been dancing for no less than 5 years, some as many as 12, we all learn from each other and support each other in all ways possible Our tribe is about mutual respect, gratitude and above all the sharing of laughter. Rising Phoenix has helped put on many fund raisers including, Dancing for Darfur, Written in the Stars a benefit for Haiti, and has participated in Speak through Dance and many other charitable events. We feel that working for charity is our passion and our calling! We have danced all through out the Salt Lake valley and will be spreading our wings to travel soon! New dancers by invitation or audition.
