Intro to Tribal Fusion Bellydance
Tribal Fusion bellydance is a stylistic mix of traditional Middle Eastern dance, American Tribal Style bellydance, and other contemporary American dance forms. Dancers learn to combine bellydance with elements of hip hop, locking, and folkloric dance to create choreographies that are sinuous, earthy, and expressive. We will learn and drill basic bellydance movements to develop good technique, eventually utilizing our newfound skills to develop group choreography. This class is ongoing, and regular attendance is encouraged. We recommend that you take our Level 1 American Tribal Style course for at least one 6-week cycle if possible to familiarize yourself with the basic carriage and posture of tribal bellydance.
If you enjoy the structure that choreography provides, and are curious about this alternative style of bellydance, give Tribal Fusion a go! Drop-ins are welcome, but please arrive 15 minutes prior to your first class for registration. New students are also encouraged to preregister online. Open to ages 14 and up - students under 18 require parent or guardian signature.
