In her free time she enjoys underwater basket-weaving, sorting M&M's alphabetically and her side business, PrinterActive Media, which provides small business marketing and consulting.More information about Zora or how to book her at http://www.zoraphoenix.com/

Burlesque: Hai Fleisch

Hai Fleisch began peeling in '06 as one of the founding members of San Francisco Burlesque Troupe: "Kiss Que C'est". Since arriving in Portland Summer '08, she has develped into an exciting solo performer. A shimmering, shimmying blend of vamp and comedienne, her numbers are always unique and entertaining.
She has twirled her tassles on the stages of: the Hubba Hubba Revue, Red Hots Burlesque, Tease-O-Rama Meet & Mingle, Spookshow A Go-Go, Cabaret Babylon, Indulgence, and Amnesia, among others.

Belly Dance: Tiffany

Tiffany is an established instructor, performer, and presence in the
Bellydance community. Her vivacious, bold, and fun loving personality bring
an expressive grace and energy to a performance that is uniquely her own.
Tiffany fell in love with Bellydance in 1995. As a lifelong dancer she found
an immediate connection with the artistic expression, physicality, and
femininity that make-up this exciting and exotic dance form. Though she
appreciates all aspects and forms of the dance, her true passion lies in the
American Cabaret style.
