Imagine this: there was a time in history, a long time ago, when the bounce and sway of a woman's hips was considered so beautiful that they set it to music and made a dance out of it... American Tribal Style Bellydance is largely improvisational, using simple steps and gestures in a repetitive fashion, building on the music and the interaction between the dancers. Tribal Style is elegant and graceful, celebrating the strength and beauty of the female form, regardless of age and size.

NOTE!! NEW FCBD VOL 7 - Creative Steps and Combinations ( movements & gestures taught at Australia's first tribal trance fest) AVAILABLE JAN 07 - MORE INFO BELOW - PRE ORDER FOR FASTEST DELIVERY!
