"The Spirit of Tribal is Friendship"  

I would like to thank Pip E-Lysaah Bennington for the following explanation of Tribal. 

"What is Tribal Style Belly Dance?  There are many different answers to this question, but essentially Tribal Style Belly Dance is about a group of people belly dancing together using a vocabulary of cued moves.  The vocabulary of moves and the style those moves are performed in, tend to be specific to the group performing them.

So the vocabulary differs from group to group, but is based around a set of core moves developed by Fat Chance Belly Dance of the American Tribal Style or ATS.

However, it is the concept of many people dancing as one, using improvisation, that is the center of Tribal Style".

 The Tribal Collective

Our goal is to do justice to the music. By using Tribal cued moves and other dance genres, we dance together spontaneously. 

The following is the Tribal Code and Guide to membership to the Collective.

The Tribal Code

*     I swear to uphold the spirit of Tribal

*     I swear to love and support my fellow dancers

*     I swear to encourage and support all individual expression

*     I swear to never push away, control or suffocate the creative spirit of the Collective or any individual

*     I swear to discover and explore who I am through friendship and dance

The Guide to Membership of the Tribal Collective
