Moirae, meaning "the Fates," is a dark tribal fusion student troupe made up of dancers Baseema, Cailtin, and Diana of Dancing Ember Studio. The three dancers got together in one of Phoenix's classes and worked so well together that they decided to form their own small troupe. They have performed at several Za-Beth events in Boston, Raks Spooki II, and the People's Choice Awards. They have won two awards - for best costuming and for most original choreography/performance at the Boston NBDA People's Choice Awards.

No media image can stand up to the certainty of nature. I’ve never considered a tree to be “too large” or its surface needing to be changed in any way. Nature thrives on variety and diversity; it is never too much or too little, too fat, thin, dimpled, wrinkled, small, big, hairy, ugly-it just is. Our choice remains to claim that most basic freedom: to just be and love who we really are.

Why do we, as a society, allow false notions to define us? Do you want to spend your life allowing others-the media, marketers-to set the standards by which you will be judged, to which you can never truly measure up?
