Next to their exploration of middle eastern dance the dancers have studied a lot of different dance forms which made them step outside the genre of traditional middle eastern dance and look into these other dance forms for fusion ideas. They now creatively use and combine many traditional influences and elements with their own personal expression creating innovative and progressive pieces that reflect en inspire today’s culture.
The Uzumé began as the first company in the Netherlands representing Tribal Fusion Belly Dance. Through their creative use of blending many dance forms, the use of traditional music mixed with electronic beats of the global underground and their personal expression of living in this day and age they have pushed the boundaries and broken new ground.
Music
Freestyle performances to electro (clash/pop), breakbeat, breakcore, tekno, drum 'n bass, industrial, gothic, jazz, goa, funk, techno, trance, danceclash, minimal, grime, dubstep, worldgrooves, balkan, asian and oriental underground, etc.
About me: The Uzumé is an alternative style of belly dance company with an unique approach to bellydance. Because of their mesmerizing performances, which consist of choreographies and freestyle, they are now collaborating with a lot of different DJ’s and dance events. The Uzumé already won several prices with their innovative choreographies, one for Best Dance Company - Cross-Over Oriental Choreography. Shows can be tailored to any venue and any audience. The Uzumé already succesfully performed national as well as international at Robodock (LHPO), Tribalondon, Sugar Factory, Mystic Grooves, Mysteryland, Club Elf, Numoonfest, United Cultures Festival, Nataraj, Metatron, All is One (Carl Craig and 100% Isis), Project Mayhem, Bal du Masque, Paradiso, Melkweg, Supperclub, RASA, Tivoli De Helling, etc.
