CHOCOLATE WITH FRUIT AND NUTS : Tribal Fusion - Smooth Moves With Juicy, Crunchy Bits
2-4pm Sunday August 15 Tribal Fusion is a relatively new form of experimental belly dance that derives from American Tribal Style. It incorporates Tribal elements with Egyptian and contemporary Western forms of dance to create a sensuous, gritty style that is often referred to as ‘Industrial Gypsy’ or ‘Dark Cabaret’. Learn muscle control with chocolaty, sinuous undulations combined with juicy moves and crunchy, nutty locks and pops in this Tribal Fusion taster workshop!
