Blue
Damsel blends the modern with tradition, forming unusual combinations
of dance from influences that span the globe. Blue Damsel is immersed
in the color of cultures and reflects back that which is most dazzling.
Most prevalent in their style is the influence and roots of belly dance,
followed closely by the dance stylings of Asia. Blue Damsel is known
for its precise group improvisational style, as well as for cutting
edge choreography. The Damsels perform a variety of dances ranging from
Tribal Belly Dance, to interpretive dance, to burlesque. There are no
limits for Blue Damsel, only inspirations.
Damselflies
reflect the attributes that we seek when we dance. Associated with light,
illusion, wisdom, enlightenment, and transformation (or simply, change)
the damselfly urges you to look beyond what is in front of you to see
the truth. They are associated with the elements of water (emotion)
and air (mind), thus inspiring us to balance our emotions and rational
thought into a cohesive mechanism for expression. The bodies of damselflies
are constructed so as to refract light into an array of different colors.
These bright colors take time to develop, reflecting the idea that with
maturity our own true colors come forth. The damselfly, unlike its close
relative the dragonfly, can also bend its wings back along its body
while resting, further expressing the flexibility of creation.
