For more info on where this magical beast came from, visit https://fcbd.com/ About me Briohny has trained for 18+ years in Middle Eastern, FatChanceBellyDance® style, Fusion bellydance and West African dance. She draws together the tradition, joy and flamboyance within these styles, alongside Eastern European folkloric influences, into her own eclectic folk fusion. She regularly performs with her FCBD® and folk fusion style troupe ‘The Vivid Sisters’ with the Footscray Gypsy Orchestra, The Black Sea Ensemble, and the Lira show across Melbourne. After first discovering bellydance in 1996, Briohny attended Underbelly Dance studios, Melbourne, from 2005, studying West African, Dancehall, and Middle Eastern dance forms. In addition to tuition in traditional belly dance with Trisnasari, Briohny performed with Red Belly Black with Melusina, Wassawumba! and Melbourne Djembe, and the Magic Theatre and Eccentrix as a fire performer for several years. From 2009 Briohny focused on fusion bellydance, studying in Australia and the US, attending workshops and intensives with master teachers including Jill Parker, Rachel Brice, Mira Betz, Zoe Jakes, Mardi Love, Heather Stants, The Lady Fred, Colleena Shakti, Sera Solstice, Amy Sigil, Cera Byer, Kami Liddle, Sharon Kihara, Elizabeth Strong, Samantha Emanuel and Devi Mamak. She completed ATS® General Skills certification with Carolena Nericcio, in 2011 and again in 2015 where she also completed Teacher Training and became a FCBD® Sister Studio.
