- A fusion belly dance instructor, performer, choreographer, and world dance student in Beaverton, Oregon.
For Rhyolyn, movement is the ultimate form of personal expression. Her discovery of belly dance in 2001 revived an inborn love of music originating from years of musical training and a passion for movement arts. Her style is an eclectic blend of world dance forms including (but not limited to) American Cabaret, classical Egyptian, Folkloric, American Tribal (ATS), Tribal Fusion, Odissi, Bharatanatyam, Bollywood, Bhangra, Hula hoop, Iyengar Yoga, and Hip Hop.
