"Tribal Terminology, or What Style is That?"
As 'they' say, “The only constant is change.” Our beloved Art of BellyDance is not exempt to this Universal Law, and has been growing, fusing and mutating so fast lately it may be difficult to know exactly what to call your style, especially if you enjoy all that “Tribal” has to offer. This class is sure to leave us with tons of food for thought, as it is part Discussion and part Movement.
