About Tribal Belly Dance

Tribal Belly Dance started up in the USA approxiamtely 30 years ago and is a blend of "traditional" belly dance with modern western influences. Tribal is a very rhythmic earthy, femminine and powerful form of dance with repetitive movements intended to done within a group. It is an improvised dance using learned steps, leading and following in formations, the beauty of you and the other dancers flowing, connected to themselves, the music, each other is the essence of this dance.

Tribal Trance Dance

Rooted in Tribal and Trance Dance. Communicating with Spirit through our souls in movement connecting with Universal Energies. Dancing the sun, the moon, elements, circle, spiral, sacred symbols in a moving meditation. Simple, repetitive movemen, trancing, trancending ordinary states of reality into a deeper state of self and grace.

Tribal/Trance~Fusion

Tribal Fusion Belly Dance takes the elements of TBD and brings in choreography, the art of the soloist (though can be two or more also) and fuses even more stance styles together including hip hop, burlesque and street. Tribal Trance ~Fusion is my own title for a blend that incorporates the visions or movements acccesse trancing or shamnic journeying with Tribal Fusion. This is Soul Visioning, creating through and expressed in movement and dance.
