Tribal Style Belly Dance was started about
20 years ago on the West Coast. It is a specific style of belly
dance comprised of many distinct elements. One of the most apparent
distinctions is
the elaborate costume which often consists of layers of fabric, decorated
turbans, and heavy, ethnic jewelry. Tribal Style performance consists
of a chorus or circle of dancers providing a backdrop for solos, duets,
and trios. Performances are seldom choreographed but rather cued from
a vocabulary of movement by a designated lead dancer. This encourages
a spirit of team work, awareness and cooperation.
Tribal
Fusion stretches the boundaries of Tribal Style Belly
Dance
by elongating and stretching out the fundamental techniques. It
also mixes the foundational movements with stylistic influences of
Hip Hop,
Spanish Flamenco, Trance, Underground Club Dancing and more to create
a truely unique and challenging style all to itself.
