Each performance exudes beauty, grace, elegance and femininity. Our slow performances
are delicate, alluring, deliberate and flowing, while our fast performances
are powerful, energetic, earthy and primal. Performances also prove to be
more than just entertainment as we convey a sense of cultural unity, diversity
and harmony as varied as the movements and dance we express. Unforgettable,
unique performances can be engineered to each clients' needs. Purely
tribal style, choreography, dynamic group improvisation and all variations
thereof, create memorable experiences for the audience and client.
Performances range from 15 to 30 minutes and have the optional inclusion of
a basic tutorial with audience participation.
Performance Styles Offered:
American Tribal Style
See the style that started
the tribal fusion craze! American Tribal Style (ATS) features Group Improvisational
Dance, where the entire troupe performs an improvised dance that is created in the moment, right before the eyes of our audience.
To the untrained eye, it might look like choreography, but do not be fooled, it's not. The dance features both slow and fast performances
and typically utilizes traditional and semi-traditional folkloric music. However, special music styles can be requested.
Tribal Fusion
Tribal Fusion is a style that has come to mean anything with roots in ATS
but not strictly ATS. This could be part choreography, or a heavier influence
of
more modern dance styles such as Hip Hop, or ancient styles such as African
dance. This style of performance can also encompass both fast and slow performances.
Typically, music not traditional to belly dance is used.
Gothic Belly Dance (Raks Gothique)
Indulge your darker side! This style of dance draws on spirituality and sensuality.
While the fashion and current fads tend to focus on death and mourning, this
dance celebrates the sacred and spiritual, or mystical and enigmatic. If
you are are naturally drawn to spirituality, or just the mystical beauty
of the
vampire this could be your performance style of choice. Gothic belly dance
does not necessarily mean all black and slow depressing moves, however, this
is not the performance where you'll see us in bright candy colored
costumes. And, likewise, the music will reflect more emotional, down tempo
or mysterious
sounds. Also, while faster music can bring some of our fast moves, this is
not typically performed as group improvisation, and is not simply ATS in
black.
Whatever your style preference, we will tailor our performance to you and
your audience. Please contact us for pricing, booking or general information.
