Tribal-Style Bellydance
Green St Studios, Cambridge MA
(parking is free on Sundays!)

Sundays 8:30-9:30pm

This class will be offered on a drop-in basis: $15/person/class. (come check it out!)

This class is open to students who are familiar with bellydance and would like to know more about tribal-style, students who have practiced tribal-style on their own and would like more formal guidance, or for students who are new to bellydance but come with prior dance instruction and who are fast learners. We will cover proper posture and muscle technique, cueing/following, transitions, improvisation, and tribal-style vocabulary and combinations.

What is Tribal-Style?
Tribal-style bellydance is an amalgamation of several cultures’ indigenous dances. It draws from various dances, mostly from along the Romany road—where millions of dancers and gypsies have traveled over thousands of years—from India, through the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Northern Africa to the Southern coast of Spain. Tribal-style is mostly an improvisational dance form, organized around a large vocabulary of cued moves. Isolations of the hips and chest make the dance very earthy, exciting to execute, as well as beautiful to watch!
