Bhrigha's Dance & Drum Bio
Bhrigha is an accomplished percussionist, recording artist, drum facilitator, & instructor. She studied with Layne Redmond, author of When the Drummers Were Women, for frame drum and riq technique. From 1996-2009, she studied and performed from coast to coast with many accomplished musical masters and well-known groups dancing and playing djembe, frame drum, riq, djun djun, and incidental percusion: Umoja Percussion Ensemble directed by Eugene Snowden, the award-winning & multi-cultural madness of the Shredd! Theatre Troupe, Tamalyn Dallal and the Mid-East Dance Exchange in Miami, FL, Thobos LuBamba, Kasa Panzu, Tobias Roberson, Cammie Darshan Vance, Paulette Rees-Denis, Portland’s mystical Mizna, & the tribal vibes of the Gypsy Caravan Band and Caravan Collective. She facilitated drum circles on the FL festival circuit and for a Drums Not Drugs program for at-risk women and teens. She performed at special corporate events and theme parks like Arabian Nights Dinner Theatre, Universal Studios, Halloween Horror Nights, and Islands of Adventure. She appeared on 4 CD’s and 1 performance DVD, including Gypsy Caravan’s Remarkably Remixed CD. She co-founded both the Orlando, FL and Portland, OR chapters of PURE, (Public Urban Ritual Experiment), a drum and dance troupe that did pop-up performances for healing and community, from 2005-2011.
A Bachelor's degree in Theatre and a background in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, & improvisational styles helped shape a natural ability for Egyptian/Lebanese, Folkloric, Irish, Flamenco, & Romani dances too. Her first bellydance teachers were former Ibrahim Farrah dancers in NYC, so Bhrigha’s style also has an exciting East Coast flair. She directed her professional performance company in Florida – the GypsiKelts Drum & Dance Clan from 2002-2007 and co-directed Florida’s award-winning Shredd! Theatre Troupe from 2004-2007. In Portland, she branched out into her solo Tribical style, performing at popular balls and special events. A lively & engaging performer, Bhrigha was an audience favorite, providing memorable entertainment, creating original & unique dance art that was lightly choreographed & largely improvised, following her motto of “Bellydance Your Bliss!”
Bhrigha is delighted to integrate her passions for music and movement into a sacred healing environment to help others. She has Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so she understands the unique challenges that can change day to day and believes movement and rhythm can heal. She is excited to step out of the shadows and merge dance and drumming with her healing modalities to help others and co-create a supportive community in North Clark county.
A unique approach for hypermobility, designed by a hypermobile dancer for other hypermobile dancers.
Traditional dance classes often push the body to its maximum limits, which can leave hypermobile joints vulnerable to strain. We do things differently. Our specialized method is designed specifically to help you build deep structural control, muscle isolation, and grounding—all through the beautiful art of bellydance.
It’s time to move away from joint strain and learn to bellydance your bliss in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment. Because hypermobile dancers naturally experience joint instability and struggle with proprioception (knowing where limbs are in space), traditional aesthetic dance training can cause injury. The Blissed Bellydance Method prioritizes muscular containment and joint stability.
Does your body have "too much flexibility" and not enough control?
For hypermobile bodies, traditional dance or fitness spaces can often feel counterproductive. Pushing into extreme extensions or relying on passive flexibility leaves loose joints vulnerable to pain, strain, and micro-injuries.
The Blissed Bellydance Project was born out of a need for safe, deeply intentional movement. Our method transforms classical bellydance into a powerful, protective, and muscle-driven framework. We focus entirely on building internal stability, deep core engagement, and precise muscle isolating locks so you can experience the profound joy of dance without the physical toll.
The Three Pillars of The Blissed Bellydance Technique:
-
Muscular Containment: Learning how to stop movements before end range and stop hanging out in ligaments, replacing loose, sweeping extensions with active muscle engagement to keep joints aligned and safely framed through the Blissed Box Frame.
-
Anatomical Grounding: Utilizing body alignment and tracking, a micro-bend in the knees, heavy weight distribution through the feet, and structural alignment to take shearing pressure entirely off the lower spine.
-
Somatic Awareness: Shifting the focus from forcing an external visual shape to feeling internal muscle engagement, healthy fascial stretching, ensuring safe spatial boundaries, and increasing body awareness.
-
Fun with Fascia: Learning what fascia, our connective tissue, is and does, how to stretch it properly, and how this type of movement is perfect for people with hypermobility and chronic pain issues.
About the Logo:
-
A zebra butterfly to represent the EDS community, who are referred to as "zebras" in the medical community because it was thought that EDS was rare and doctors are taught to look for "horses" (the common condition), not "zebras" (the rare conditions), which led to many misdiagnoses for many of us. We are Zebra Strong!
-
A butterfly for transformation.
-
A wavey green and brown line representing the earth for grounding but also water, because we need to be reminded to drink enough water.
-
A circle to represent the circle we dance in together, a frame drum, and the finger cymbals we play.
-
Henna designs to represent self care and decorating the body temple.
-
Colors: Orange for creativity, Yellow for willpower, Green for heart-centeredness and prosperity, Purple for spirit, Brown for grounding.
A Note about the word "Gypsy"
This term has come to have a modern collective meaning of "someone who is free-spirited, bohemian, independent." However, its original origin comes from a Colonialist ethnic slur, meaning "someone from Egypt who is unethical or unlike white people" used to define the Romani people, who actually are descended from a region of Pakistan and Northern India at the oldest roots. They have endured horrible discrimination, persecution, and were even amoung those killed in the Holocaust. The Romani people prefer to be called Roma or Romani. They have a rich, vast history. Some people of Romani descent are accepting of the term Gypsy as a way to reclaim it as a positive expression. That is how Bhrigha used it in her stage name of "Bhrigha GypsiKelt" for decades. Her adoptive mother's side of the family was distantly descended from Hungarian Romani and she grew up listening to her grandmother speaking Hungarian in her sleep, eating traditional Hungarian dishes like goulash, and the family referred to her great-aunt, a flapper in the 1920's, as "The Gypsy." When taking her stage name in 2000, it was her intent to unite her adoptive family and her Celtic blood. It was accepted then.
Now in 2026, the bellydance community has moved away from that word and so out of respect for the Romani who are offended by it, Bhrigha now just uses her first name.

Blissed Wellness Teacher Bio:
Bhrigha Getz, LMT, RYT 200, CBT
Owner of Blissed Bodwork, LLC/Blissed Wellness
A lifelong student of movement arts, Bhrigha Getz was a professional dancer, performer, percussionist, and teacher for 18 years, studied many types of dance, and became a certified teacher in Classical Pilates mat and apparatus, to help heal from car accidents. She was introduced to yoga in 2000, integrated it into her wellness self-care rituals and took many classes. Finally in 2019, she achieved her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate, then completed her certification in trauma-informed yoga with Lisa Danylchuk and Yoga 4 Trauma the same year.
A Highly Sensitive Person, Empath, and trauma survivor, Bhrigha loves to help other kindred souls find balance. She has hEDS and deals with several other co-occurring invisible conditions as well. Her yoga style is alignment-based, and she draws inspiration from Restorative, Yin, Iyengar, Anusara, and Forrest Yogas. She studied and taught at Melanie Neilson's Vancouver Yoga Center, the city's longest running studio. Her belief that any body can do yoga and all moves can be modified per person informs her approach to functional movement, emotional resiliency, and spiritual attunement.
She brings her anatomy nerdiness, an extensive bodywork & movement background, a passion for helping, and a little bit of magic to her practice - “where science meets woo.” She is excited to be able to share movement, yoga, self-care, and more with the La Center community.
