Based out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Dominique Moon is a sensual multidisciplinary artist and doula working across Egyptian-style belly dance, burlesque, and portraiture. As the creator of Red Holy Waters, her work is guided by elemental forces, ancestral memory, and the reclamation of suppressed Divine Femininity.
With over nine years of experience in belly dance, Dominique moves from a place of surrender and erotic embodiment, drawing from traditional North African rhythms and melodies. She is a practitioner of baladi, the folkloric root of many belly dance forms. Dominique has received mentorship from esteemed dancer Ranya Renee.
In May 2025, she expanded into shake dancing and burlesque, centering erotic expression through the blues, which she approaches as a partially diasporic North African musical lineage.
A lifelong visual artist, Dominique began drawing portraits in 2009. Working primarily in charcoal, she incorporates materials such as gold, lace, and flora to create textured, intimate pieces. Her work centers physicality and embodiment, exploring the culturally marginalized edges of femaleness—the profane, the erotic, and the gender expansive.
Across all mediums, Dominique channels emotional and spiritual states through her body to reclaim its inherent wisdom, creating work that gestures toward both personal and collective healing.
