American Tribal Style, gothic, neo-tribal (or fusion) and even
a bit of cabaret belly dance with a sprinkling of cheeky
burlesque attitude. We will honor and learn the roots of tribal
belly dance, but will at the same time work to push beyond
the traditional world to move into a realm that blurs the line
between numerous dance forms.
