superb, physic
ally demanding, at the forefront of evolution of bellydance as an artform". Sera is fed artistically from underground electronic music parties as she works in collaboration with musicians of Freek Factory and Sub Swara, both collectives of cutting edge artists who fuel her choreographies. Sera has participated in fire-circle culture for nearly 2 decades, therein developing bellydance as a sacred movement form, used in ritual and for healing.

These experiences have opened Sera to further discovery of dance as a medium for communication, spiritual manifestation, and artistic expression.
