SHAKRA DANCE COMPANY

Shakra Dance Company is an experimental belly dance company based out of Washington DC. We fuse belly dance, West African Dance, theater and our own messed up senses of humor to come up with a unique fused dance form. We do our best to help each other learn and grow as women in modern day America, and take turns reminding each other not to take life too seriously. When all else fails, we dance... These terms resonate with us, not only in the physical expression of our constantly evolving dance form, but also our shared outlook on life. Life is a process that is forever changing, yet most people resist inevitable change. We strive to allow that perpetual state of evolution, and look at evolution as the art of adaptation. we hope to learn and grow as dancers and individuals. We wish to explore and express the variance that art, life, and dance imparts upon us. We do not shy away from trying new and different forms of dance, music, or philosophy.
