Welcome to RASHENKOTI a dance of friends that celebrates the diverse and beautiful women we are

At its simplest, dance is a language.
And Tribal Dance is a modern revival of a very old language,with roots going back as far ancient Babylon and beyond. But its form is modern and today you will find many different takes on the dance itself.

True Tribal Dance, however, has always been about celebrating the women we are, not the women the media tells us we are supposed to be.
That image is just plastic, real women have a beauty that comes from being just who they are, rather than an imitation of something else.

We are all shapes and sizes, all ages and abilities.
We are all creative.

And all of us can dance.



RASHENKOTI is Tribal Dance that, at its core, celebrates and nurtures female diversity and strength.





Tribal is a dance of friends

It is not possible to be a tribe of one!
RASHENKOTI is about togetherness.
Its about friends supporting each other.
Its about sharing.
So, you wont find any Divas here!
Tribal is about abandoning the myth of stardom,
of thinking that we must compete to be valued.
Every woman who joins us in this dance of many knows
that she is fantastically unique and valuable,
as well as part of something larger.


RASHENKOTI is Tribal Dance as life practice

Life Practices (such as yoga and tai chi)combine energetic awareness, repeated natural movements and thought processes to help us develop a better understanding of ourselves, both as individuals and as a part of the greater world.

We see Tribal Dance as a life practice which
also increases and supports our health in a holistic and gentle way.

It is also very simple, very joyful and lots of fun!





And if you thought that Belly Dance
was all about dressing up, well we enjoy that too!
Make-up and costuming are really fun group activities, with the emphasis on celebrating our bodies respectfully,joyfully and supportively.





Tribal is a Living Art
Tribal is very distinctive as a dance form in many ways. One of the most exciting of these is the extensive use of improvisation.


Think again of the dance as a language.

First you learn words (steps and movements)
Then you learn sentence structure (formations)
Then you can have a conversation! In the same
way dancers learn to lead and follow each other,
We do at times choose to use choreography but for RASHENKOTI choreography is the product of collaboration between the whole tribe.
