Luminessah is a World Interpretive dance troupe founded in 2005 in Eugene, Oregon. They fuse movements from such regions as India, Turkey, Egypt, and North Africa, throw in some hip hop and vaudeville stylings, and tie it all together through an Improvisational Tribal Style of belly dance. Their performances are unique artistic creations that through ritual, theatre, and improvisation transport the viewer.
They regularly perform throughout the West Coast at festivals, restaurants, and other dance events, and have performed with musicians such as Raquy and the Cavemen, Manooghi Hi, Telesma, Gypsy Moon, The Conjugal Visitors, Americanistan, and more. Their workshops are in demand around the state and their regular class sessions in Eugene have resulted in the formation of a student troupe as well.
Luminessah is available for events such as weddings, festivals, parties, baby showers, and collaborative concerts. They often teach group workshops and are available for private lessons as well. If you’re interested, please contact us and check out our upcoming events.
Luminessah is Ali, Regina Anne, and Lila.
