Sarah “Jezebel” Wood ,is a bellydance fusion artist and certified yoga instructor living in the New York City where she teaches weekly classes and performs regularly. Sarah loves to nurtureand cultivate the deep creative beauty and strength that we each hold as dancers and envisionsdance as fluid meditation where our bodies are the catalyst to experience higher levels ofconsciousness. Knocking down boundaries Sarah’s style ranges from slow and sinuous to quick,dark and aggressive. Her inspirations vary from the natural world to the occult to visionary art.Fascinated by the mystical properties of dance and the roll of the dancer as Oracle, Sarah
Jezebel created LUNARIS. LUNARIS weaves together tales of the Delphic Oracle and Sybil ofCumae with the turn of the century Spiritualists who performed Seances and read tea leaves.Sarah Jezebel is currently writing a full length show which will be premiere in Boston and NYC sometime in 2017. Along with her many other obsessions she is also the co-producer and co-creatrix of OCCULT Arts Salon which celebrates the intertwining vines of Art and Magick. In the not so distant past Sarah worked in New York for Visionary Artist Alex Grey, creator of CoSM, while teaching bellydance in both the Hudson Valley and NYC.

up. Soon her tastes expanded and started training with Shakti Rowan in ITS style bellydance
