INTRODUCTION TO TRIBAL BELLY DANCE
Based on traditional cabaret styles, folkloric dances of North Africa as well as stylistic influences from flamenco and Indian dance, Tribal belly dance is a communal style which can be choreographed or improvised. The technique employs simple steps, movements and gestures in a repetitive fashion, building on the music and the interaction between the dancers.
