Samadhi is a tribal fusion belly dance troupe performing in the
Charleston - Huntington area of West Virginia. This group is a union
of smaller troupes ranging from intermediate students to to any
event. While performing, the dancers are entertaining themselves as
much as they are entertaining the audience. They do a mix of
choreographed and improvisational pieces. You'll see them and
making "yip" sounds to signal changes. They will also zaghareet to
one another to express their enthusiasm and excitement. They'll
even laugh and smile if one of the dancers misses a cue - which is
always a possibility with improv! As you can tell, they don't take
themselves very seriously.
Since these dancers are all about the having fun themselves and
making sure the audience is having fun, too, they'll frequently invite
the audience to dance with them. They form a circle, designate one
dancer as the leader of the chorus (the dancers in the circle), then
each dancer rotates into the middle of the circle to dance.
Samadhi was formed in 2004 and is based in Teays Valley. Their
costuming is an eclectic mix of modern and ethnic pieces from many
regions of the world. Much of their jewelry originates from the Kuchi
tribe of Afghanistan. For more information on tribal dance or to
schedule a performance, please contact Amira at
