Fulya

Fulya

Fulya is a Bellydance teacher, performer, costumier, and event organizer; for the majority of her 24-year career, this has been her full-time job.  She is well known as a fusion belly dance performer and constantly seeks to push boundaries and redefine her art.

Every aspect of her performance is carefully planned and constructed, from concept to execution; all parts are equally important. Music choice, costume, makeup, and even hair style are all carefully crafted to help tell the dancer's story, and she enjoys every part of the journey.

As a teacher, she is noted for being warm and encouraging. She breaks movements and combos down into easy and manageable chunks with many different explanations, learning methods, and plenty of vivid imagery. Fulya has been teaching since 2000 and holds various qualifications in dance and teaching. 

Fusion is Fulya’s passion.  Burlesque, Flamenco, Samba, Charleston, Tango, Bollywood and Indian Classical dances have all been studied and fused into her dance and teaching. 

She has written articles for various bellydance magazines such as Majency, and Mosaic.

She is a musician / songwriter who, in another life, played in girly jazz duos and an industrial rock band. She is currently working with Constellations, who write and play their own brand of world fusion music. 

In 2013 BDUK.TV asked her to appear on “UK Tribal Fusion Bellydance” a Tuition DVD which also featured; Dawn O’Brien, Alexis Southall, Bex, & Darkstar. 

In 2016 she was asked to Choreograph a Flash mob by Northampton County Council’s disability partnership to raise awareness for “Ipods for Dementia.”  During Lockdown, she ran online shows, workshops, and get-togethers under the Mojo Flowing banner.
