Amy Sigil

Amy Sigil, director/choreographer of UNMATA and owner of Hot Pot Studio in Sacramento, CA, has been developing, teaching, and performing modern bellydance fusion and her distinct vocabulary of Improvisational Tribal Style. She danced as half of Haruspicy Dancecraft for several years, and then formed the professional fusion troupe UNMATA in 2003. UNMATA has brought home awards such as Bellydance Troupe of the Year 2004, Bellydance Troupe USA 2004, Ensemble of the Year 2005, and Tribal Fusion Group of the Universe 2007. Amy and UNMATA teach workshops and perform nationally and internationally at events such as The Spirit of the Tribes, Northern Migration, Tribal Fest, Tribal Quest Northwest, TribalCon, and Tribal Cafe. Amy has judged for various pageant competitions such as Belly Dancer of the Year and Enchanted Camelot. Each October Amy Sigil, UNMATA, and Hot Pot Studio host The Blood Moon Regale, a themed weekend of workshops, dance fellowship, and a fully produced showcase of student and professional dancers. Influenced by her studies in Bellydance, American Tribal Style, Hula, and Hip Hop, Amy brings you...SIGIL Style...not just a dance style; a life style.
