A summary of The style: -
Tribal Style Belly dance is both a celebration of the female spirit and a physical display of the strength and beauty of women. It’s roots can be traced back to the rituals of past matriarchal cultures and to the secular entertainments evolved as the gypsies traveled through India, Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Spain.
What distinguishes Tribal from other styles of belly dance is the way in which steps, movements, gestures, even costume, are redesigned to suit the common denominator of a group dancing together. The music is selected for it’s clarity, the steps for their universal application and yet, whether performed as choreography or improvisation the result is one of simple elegance and rhythmic style.
