What is American Tribal Style Bellydance?

American Tribal Style Bellydance finds its roots in the folkloric dances of the Middle East, North Africa and Spanish Flamenco. These styles were blended together and made popular by various Middle Eastern dance troupes on the United States West Coast. The basic foundation of Tribal Style is that a group of dancers dance as a “tribe”. It involves a group improvisational format with simple steps and gestures that build upon the music and the interactions with the other dancers. The costuming and the visual presentation incorporate influences from around the world, creating a rich high impact experience.
