“So many times today Fusion is used as an excuse or a word to allow any way of moving to be classified as bellydance. ….What I admired about Ziah was that each of her moves was an actual bellydance move but the regions from which they came were where she would mix and match to create the fusion. By doing this her work evoked a sense of ancient and authentic. She knew the lineage of almost every combination she used.”
