Inspired by the mystical waters of The Florida Keys, this workshop celebrates both the fierce history of pirates in Key West and the romantic allure of island mermaids. The show and choreography blend bellydance with Bellynesian storytelling, giving dancers the chance to embody two sides of the sea: the untamed power of the Kraken and the irresistible charm of ocean sirens. Perfect for wedding destinations by the water, the choreography evokes both adventure and love.
The Kraken piece channels the raw energy of pirate legends, with strong hip work, sharp accents, and serpentine undulations that rise like waves. Swords and veils serve as props, symbolizing both the strength of sea battles and the swirling depths of the ocean. This choreography is designed to make dancers feel larger than life, embodying the mythical sea beast feared by sailors while maintaining the elegance of bellydance artistry.
The Sirens choreography is a love story told in island style—perfectly fitting for weddings in the Keys, where mermaid-inspired themes are adored. This dance blends tropical Polynesian influences with flowing bellydance layers, capturing the spirit of romance by the water. Dancers can enhance their performance with optional fire palms to light up the night or incorporate floor work for sultry, ocean-tide movement. The result is a captivating piece that reflects both the playful charm and the hypnotic pull of a siren’s call.
