Personal account


From Brice's website:

"Rachel Brice fell in love with belly dance after she saw Hahbi'Ru in the early nineties. After she saw big, gorgeous, proud women with strong carriage and charisma adorned with spectacular antique tribal jewelry, facial tattoos, and rich textiles, it changed the way she saw beauty. She instantly started classes in American Cabaret.
In the early 2000s, she studied American Tribal Style® Belly Dance, African Haitian, Flamenco, Modern Dance, Kathak, and Odissi Classical. Simultaneously, she was in Jill Parker’s Ultra Gypsy, the first Tribal Fusion troupe. She was influenced by the forms she studied so these influenced her style. She danced with Mardi Love, an aesthetic influence.
2001, she was hired by mogul Miles Copeland, then toured for five years with his company Bellydance Superstars. These tours promoted the San Francisco belly-dance known as Tribal Fusion.

Today, Rachel studies belly dance with her teachers Carolena Nericcio, creator of American Tribal Style®, and yoga with Gary Kraftsow. She studies with her colleagues. She resides in Portland Oregon, and operates the studio Datura, and has a production company called Little Scarab with Sol Crawford. They sell a belly-dance program called the 8 Elements™ Approach to Belly Dance..."
