BIO

NagaSita is a Tribal Nouveau bellydancer based in Portland Oregon. A lifelong performer witth her youth spent in Hawaii dancing Kahiko with the Hula Halau gave her the perfect foundation for bellydance and an affinity for sacred interpretations through movement. Tribal bellydance became her true calling which she began practicing just after relocating to Portland Oregon and simultaneously dedicating herself to Trika yoga at the Rudrananda Ashram in 2002. As one of the pioneers of ritual performance in Tribal Bellydance today, NagaSita thrives in sharing her connection with the divine feminine through dance and by creating elaborate offerings in honor of the Goddess.

With her performance roots in the Serpentine lineage, Neo-Tribal fire performance, and Vaudeville, her growing notoriety as the founder of the Tribal Nouveau Temple Dance Troupe APSARA, producer of the world renowned Eastern Nouveau dance showcase Salon L’Orient, family member of the Wanderlust Circus and director of the dark theatre troupe Bogville, NagaSita has emerged as a force of nature in the Bohemian underground.

NagaSita has over 10 years of experience in yoga, bellydance, theatre, ancient ritual practices of the east, and some dabbling in Butoh, through which she has formed her own unique concoction of Tribal Nouveau Bellydance. Highlighted by her divinitive approach to performance and avant garde interpretation, she has become an ardently sought after teacher in the Pacific NW region. Currently, she as been spending the past 2 years studying Odissi classical Indian temple dance of the Mahari lineage, and created an all new Temple Tribal blend which she is excited to share with the Tribal community.
