As well, “tribal Style” also includes a wonderful form of Improvisational dance that is done as a “community” called “Campfire Dance”, where a vocabulary of cues are shared by the dancers to cue movement, technique and combinations giving the vision of a well choreographed dance, all moving as one, yet, the dance is totally improv within a “follow the leader” structure. This fun, exciting and artistic approach to belly dance coupled with creative fusion instills a sense of tradition, camaraderie and progression for both the dancers and audience.
