Floralia | Fusion Bellydance Performance Intensive
“Floralia” was the name of the spring festivities happening at the end of April in ancient Rome, dedicated to the goddess of the flowers of edible plants, Flora, later associated to Spring itself. During these festivities women would partake in theatrical scenes and would wear colorful clothes, in celebration of flower buds and their fertility and beauty.
This intensive is designed to bring on stage an imaginary representation of these times, using classic fusion vocabulary with a dance theatre approach. Participation is open level, but a solid Fusion Bellydance experience (at least 3 years) is strongly preferred, along with capacity to improvise on stage and willingness to explore movement and expression beyond conventions. Choreographic material will be provided online beforehand, while staging will happen at the festival’s workshop.
Instructor: Violet Scrap

GENERAL INFO
What is a Performance Intensive?
A Performance Intensive is a focused dance experience that combines training, creativity, and the excitement of performing on stage. It’s a guided process that takes dancers from preparation to a complete stage piece.
Before the Festival
Depending on the teacher, participants may receive short video material (sequences or technique tips) to study in advance, or they may start everything directly at the festival. Some projects rely on choreography, others on group exploration and improvisation.
During the Festival
Dancers meet in person to shape and refine the piece together, working closely under the teacher’s direction in a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.
Final Performance
The project culminates in a live performance during the Gala Show (Saturday 23) or the Open Stage (Sunday 24)—a shared moment of creativity and celebration.
Support & Communication
Each project has a dedicated Facebook group where participants receive updates, ask questions, and get styling and costume guidelines.
Why Join?
You’ll train with international instructors, connect with dancers from around the world, and live the thrill of performing together on stage.
