Tribal Belly Dance - Intermediate

Tribal Belly Dance is a fusion dance style inspired by traditional belly dance movements and blended with stylistic influences from India, Asia, Africa, Spain and the Middle East. The movements are strong and sensual, and are meant to showcase the beauty of the dancers. This dance is unique in that is it performed as a group or “tribe” using subtle movement cues to improvisational lead and follow one another.

In this class will continue to build your dance vocabulary. You will learn different formations, learn new ways to transition between leaders, learn new methods for switching sides, all while becoming more comfortable dancing your current vocabulary of moves. Focus on layering. Some zills and veil work will be included. Each class will include a warm up, some movement drills, and a cool down. Tribal style costuming and make-up will be demonstrated and depending on the group’s progression we may get to some basic veil techniques as well.

This class is a great way to get in shape, work out any built up tension you may have from your day, and a chance to be surrounded by a group of positive female energies. All ages, shapes, sizes and experience levels are encouraged. Wear comfortable clothes that allow free movement.
