Immerse yourself in Tribal Style Belly Dance at Belly Dance Arabesque
Tribal Style Belly Dance originated in San Francisco in the 1980’s, uniting women in dance and friendship. Its origins are based in Middle Eastern dance with influences from Spanish Flamenco, Northern India and Africa. These influences combine to create an earthy style of dance usually performed in a group or “tribe”.
Tribal Style Belly Dance is largely based on improvisation, bringing women together to dance as a group. Using movements, combinations and cues to form the dance and create a dynamic and powerful performance. Tribal Style is both elegant and strong, evoking a spiritual connection with fellow dancers in a fun and friendly environment.
Beginner levels are introduced to Tribal Style with technique, movements and simple combinations creating a solid grounding in the style. Upper levels build on your “repertoire” of moves and combinations as you begin to explore and become confident in the art of improvisation.
Tribal Fusion has evolved from Tribal Style Belly Dance to become an art form of its own. Tribal Fusion draws from many influences of dance and music to produce unique and creative choreographies. Fun and exciting, Tribal Fusion is the perfect way to explore your creative dance spirit.
