Tribal Ballet is an original idea created by yours truly. This concept and creation is very near and dear to my heart! Ever since my first belly dance lesson in 2007, I have been thinking about the best way to weave my ballet background into my belly dance technique. The result: I created a workshop designed specifically to teach belly dancers how to improve their posture, develop graceful, swan-like arms, and to move with awareness and intention. Click here for gorgeous visuals and inspiration, and check back with my blog for details about upcoming workshops!

Belly Dance Herstory and Resources
"In her dissertation, Saleh (1979, 128) says that the terms employed by Egyptians to identify what westerners call "belly dance" are: raqs masri (Egyptian dance); raqs baladi (native dance); raqs sharqi (oriental dance); raqs Arabi (Arabian dance)."
