Formed in 2004 by Beth Syvinski, Soul Fire Bellydance originally consisted of two members....Beth and Jackie. As a new resident of Estacada, Beth started teaching beginner bellydance classes in order to find other dancers who might be interested in dancing as a troupe. Soon after, Liz joined the group. As dancers started showing talent, interest, and devotion to teamwork, several other dancers arrived on the scene including Emily, Selena, Trina, Alexis, and Jeanine. The name "Soul Fire Sisters" was decided on as a troupe name for Soul Fire Studio.
