Cold Fusion is pleased to present Mira Betz in a spectacular, fairy-tale themed theatrical dance show, Midnight Reverie! Mira will join Cold Fusion Tribal Dance and dancers from around the state (and even from the Lower 48) in a one-night only show on Friday, June 27 at 8 p.m. at the beautiful Empress Theatre on Third Avenue in downtown Fairbanks. Doors open at 7:30. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door. For advance reservations, contact Mary at coldfusiondance@gmail.com
In the spring of 2006, a group of Fairbanks bellydancers began to discuss the concept of a new style of dance. After testing the waters with summer performances, Cold Fusion was founded in October 2006 by Mary Haley. Although Fairbanks has a long history of cabaret dance, Mary found a group of dancers eager to explore tribal fusion and Indian dancing.
Since then, Cold Fusion has performed at a variety of events, including:
* Haflaween * Dragged North Variety Show * 3rd Coast Roses Showcase * ArctiCon * Carpe Nocturne * Ester Library Lallaplaooza * Clucking Blossom * Secrets of the Oasis * Diwali * First Friday at the Discovery Lab * Fleurs du Mal Burlesque * and many haflas and private parties
The dancers of Cold Fusion have a broad background in many dance styles, including ballet, jazz, burlesque, African, Bollywood, bhangra, Odissi and hip hop. Troupe choreographies include elements of these varied dance styles.
