Silver Lotus Tribal specialises in American Tribal Style (ATS) Bellydance and Tribal Fusion Bellydance. Fusion style blends a variety of dance cultures from Middle Eastern/Oriental, Flamenco, Indian and other contemporary styles.
Dance is a wonderful expression of the soul. Through the experience of dancing as a Tribe we have found a way to share our passion and joy with our Sisterhood and with audiences alike. Together we learn a common vocabulary of traditional ATS moves and cues allowing us to join ATS dancers from all over the world in improvisational dancing. |
