About me:

TJARDA:

Tjarda is an accomplished dancer with a unique approach to bellydance. She has studied many genres of dance including Middle Eastern, modern, flamenco and mime as well as dance therapy and improvised movement. Fusing all of the above with her natural creativity, Tjarda delivers progressive choreography resonating within the world wide culture of movement. In March 2005 Tjarda became the artistic director and choreographer of The Uzumé, presently the leading Tribal Fusion bellydance company in Europe. The innovative and charismatic Uzumé have won several awards, including one for Best Dance Company. In 2008 Tjarda was nominated by The National Institute for the Voluntary Arts in the Netherlands for Most Promising Upcoming Choreographer with Exquisite Skills. She performs solo or with The Uzumé nationally and internationally including the infamous Sziget, Tribalondon, Raqs Britannia, Unmata's Bloodmoon, Tribal Fest 09, Robodock (LHPO), Mysteryland, Sugar Factory, Supperclub, Paradiso, Melkweg, All is One and many more. Blurring lines and drawing inspiration from even the most unlikely sources, Tjarda is a choreographic force in today's Tribal Fusion Scene.
