Elana of Bella Fuegas

Bella Fuegas, KC Van De Merkt and Elana Brutman, began performing as a duet in 2004. They debuted as poi dancers and swiftly evolved into alluring hoop artists gracing the stage in multiple cities across the nation. As their ability to convey emotion through movement caught up to their skill level, they attained a level of uniqueness audiences rarely witnessed. To round the edge of their performance, they embarked on a study of Tribal belly dance which provided them with an opportunity to teach their art to students of an entirely new sub-culture. Today, KC and Elana entwine the arresting essence of fire dance with the ancient practice of belly dance, paving the way for a new perspective on two distinct art forms.
