Kimara typically performs what is known as 'Fusion Bellydance'  or 'American Cabaret Bellydance'.  These are versatile mixes of Turkish, Arabic, Indian, Spanish, and American Tribal styles, combining modern and classical bellydance, folkloric, and gypsy, infused with classical movements/ stylizations from various cultures along with pop-lock and serpentine movements.  Shows will always include zills (finger cymbals) but implements can also include Fire dance, Veil dance, Raks al Sayf (Sword dancing), Egyptian Saidi-Raks al Assaya (folkloric cane dance)  Turkish Rom (Gypsy Dance). Shows, stylization, and music can be tailored to suit the audience and venue.

Having a unique, cultural-themed event?  Hire a unique, dynamic band!  Gypsy Star is a group of talented bay area musicians who weave Mediterranean, Celtic and pop into a textured  tapestry of world-fusion original music. See their website. 
Want to know where to go to enjoy regular ongoing bellydance showcases featuring an array of Bay Area talent of all different styles and fusions?  Whether you just have a taste to get out and see some artful live entertainment or interested in classes and meeting some of the pros, instructors, and students on the scene, we have quite a nice Bellydance Community happening around here!  There are also plenty of restaurants which  feature bellydance shows.

"Kimara was absolutely outstanding. She truly transformed my event. She is a true professional- for my wedding I wanted Kimara to dance to songs from my culture after she danced to some songs that she chose. Kimara took the time to research Macedonian music so that she could choose songs for her own set that would compliment mine. Thank you so much, Kimara!!!!"
