Moria Chappell instructs dancers and inspires audiences around the world through her exceptional styles of Fusion & Experimental Belly Dance, ancient Temple Dance, and Indian Odissi Dance.
Moria has meticulously researched arcane, and often near-extinct, dance forms from artistic niches acrossthe globe, subsequently teaching and performing these exquiste dances in more than 60 countries over her 25-year dance career.
For several years Moria has enchanted the bellydance community with her Nightmare on Yelm Street Gala Show - we are thrilled to have her back!!!
Wild Saffron's newest dinner theater show leads our audience into the realm of the dark fairy. Maeve herself, queen of the Fairies, presides. Allowing only the benevolent to witness her tales, each dance embodies a character, story, or theme associated with her underground and fiercely guarded world beneath the mountian. Marked by a single Hawthorne tree, which alone warns the transient not to linger in the mist. For when fog appears fairies are on their march.
Created, written, directed, and performed by Moria Chappel and Wild Saffron
