Photos of this Andalusian style performance were taken at Cozmic Pizza in Eugene, Oregon. Sarina wears a costume that fuses cabaret, flamenco, and tribal together in her beaded bra and belt she created.
Gipsy Nouveau was an event put on by Fusion Friendly, an organization originally founded by Sarina. She served as the creative director for three years as consultant and board member during the time she was no coordinating.
Gipsy Nouveau featured the talent of local belly dancers as well as Znama from Portland, Oregon. Sarina danced with Severina, founder of Znama from 2004-2007. Many of her techniques of layering with shimmies comes from Severina’s teachings.
