Horacio and Beata bring Oriental Fantasy
to San Francisco
Beata and Horacio created the concept
of the Oriental-Fantasy-Shows, a unique full evening theatre show. This
concept of taking the oriental dance from the night club to a theatrical
level with backdrops, especially commissioned music productions (made
in Egypt), splendid luxurious costumes and tours all over the world is
a novelty and the two play a trendsetting role for many dancers.

About Oriental Fantasy Show:
Every year since the inception of Oriental
Fantasy, an entire new production is created; new music is created, composed
and recorded in Cairo in coalition with famous Egyptian composers and
top musicians. The dressmakers of Cairo are busy for months creating the
elaborate costumes, all handmade and embroidered in Oriental tradition.
Beata and Horacio Cifuentes create a magical show that transports the
audience to another place and time. They have transformed Oriental dance
into an impressive theatrical art form.
This year, Beata and Horacio present a new show, "Oriental Fantasy
and Friends", with lots of newly-produced music, fabulous costumes,
and quite a few surprises! Also starring Patricia Zarnovican and
Tribal troupe perlatentia.

About Beata & Horacio Cifuentes:
Beata Cifuentes
started dancing at the young age of 6 years. After realizing that something
was missing in her life she dropped her studies in Medicine and enrolled
in a school for theatrical dance in Berlin. She opened her studio for
Oriental Dance, the first one of its kind in Berlin. She has performed
and taught throughout Canada, Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland,
France, Monaco, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and the UK), Morocco, Egypt,
the Emirates, Kenya, Japan, Canada and the U.S..
Horacio Cifuentes was born in Colombia and
grew up there and in Spain, Poland and the U.S.. He began to dance at
the age 5. As a soloist he danced eight years in San Francisco Ballet
in more than 40 classical and modern ballets. He discovered oriental dance
and quickly became very successful (see list of countries above!).
Beata & Horacio met and married in San
Francisco. As they joined their private and professional lifes they created
the concept of the Oriental-fantasy show, a unique full evening theater
show. This concept of taking the oriental dance from the night club to
a theatrical level with backdrops, especially commissioned music productions
(made in Egypt), splendid luxurious costumes and tours all over the world
is a novelty and the two play a trendsetting role for many dancers .
About Patricia and her Unique Workshops:
Balkan Fusion
Style Combinations: Intoxicating, Energetic and Fun!
Patricia and her tribe perlatentia are well-known for their energetic
interpretations of Balkan and Slavic music. Coming from a Slovak musician
family, Patricia discovered the richness of the Slavic and Balkan culture
and art being a mere child. Since Tribal Style Belly Dance is an eclectic
mix of many different folkloric dance forms, it can be easily blended
with the delicious flavor of Balkan music and movements, that are a fascinating
mixture of oriental, Slavic, Jewish and Greek influences themselves. perlatentia's
Balkan Fusion Style blends elements and techniques of ATS, Cabaret, Oriental
Dances, Gypsy Dances, Slovak & Russian Folk Dances as well a nice
portion of contemporary club styles!
-----
Dark Fusion Belly
Dance: Dark & Expressive Combinations from the Home Country of Gothic
Subculture
Discover the dark side of your dance! There's more
to goth than just black costumes and sinister music... Patricia teaches
combinations with a gothic touch. The strong, powerful posture and technique
of Tribal Style belly dance fused with the dark, expressive esthetics
of the gothic subculture evolve into an intense and impressive performance.
Patricia's movements, costuming and music choices are inspired by the
German goth club scene that she has been part of for over a decade now.
As a singer in a German gothic folk metal band, she gets in touch with
many musicians and artists, and shows her students an authentic and personalized
view of dark music and art.
Horacio and Beata - Multiple Recipients
of The Giza Award Multiple Years:
The Giza Award for Best Classical
Theatrical Show presented to a live audience is well-earned:
“Enchanted Gardens” Oriental
Fantasy XIII, Beata & Horacio Cifuentes.
This production which toured two dozen cities: from
Europe, to Canada and the US, then Tokyo and Buenos Aires…has only
the Bellydance Superstars to compare itself too. These are the only shows
that tour on this scale...why the stream of awards to these two dancers?...Each
year they get noticeably better, until they now exist in class of their
own, unchallenged. Therefore the Award goes to the show as a whole for
Beata and Horacio’s combined talents.
