American Tribal Style (ATS) Bellydance For Beginners
with Diana Goodwin of Alamkara
Starts Sunday October 14, 2007
'American' refers to the modern influence and adaptation of these ancient dance forms. 'Tribal' refers to the layered costuming and the idea of a group presenting something as one entity, as the format is based on group improvisation: the dancers follow cues given by the leader, who is always changing so that it becomes a truly communal experience. Diana will teach the basic movement vocabulary and cues to get you started leading, following and dancing in small groups right away. Discover the joy of creating a tribal performance on the fly with your fellow dancers! Costuming and technique specific to tribal style will also be discussed. American Tribal Style (ATS) is a modern style of bellydance based on group improvisation that started in San Francisco.
