Mandara is a world fusion belly dance ensemble based out of southwest Virginia.  We perform group dances that are inspired by dance traditions from along the Silk Road (India, Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain).  Our dancing celebrates the human spirit and expresses physical strength and beauty as well as each dancer's unique interaction within the community as a whole.  The dances we perform are meant to celebrate life in all stages through music and movement.
