Learn to dance with your sisters! Tribal Style is a form of belly dance that focuses on group improvisation. With a leader / follower relationship, you will learn a tribal language based on easy to remember moves and cues. Everyone learns to lead and follow so that the flow of movement and energy is ever-changing. 

If you have always wanted to get into belly dance and never had the opportunity...here it is! No more frustration or confusion, we are starting from scratch! In this class you will learn the foundations of Tribal Belly Dance. Basic improv movements are explored with an emphasis on transitional moves and posture. We will play with formations and the group dynamic as well as drilling "Tribalieve" style moves and shimmies. This class is for women of all shapes and sizes and is a great place to start! 

CLOTHES - We dance dance barefoot! Wear comfortable clothes - dance pants and a yoga tank or form fit top are best as you can see the movement of your body. You can wear a coin or hip scarf if you have one. 

WATER - Bring water, we can work up a sweat! 

A SMILE - a good attitude and the willingness to let go and have fun!
