WHAT IS TRIBALISTA?

Tribalista Bellydance has been operating since 2006 and provides tuition and performance of Improvised Tribal Style Bellydance (BlackSheep BellyDance based) and Nouveau Fusion Bellydance.

The Tribal Style Bellydance classes are primarily based on the BlackSheep BellyDance format created by Kajira Djoumahna of BlackSheep BellyDance, Maui & California USA. Fiona trained and was certified by Kajira in August 2005  to teach Level 1 in this format. She received further training from Kajira in Level 1 and an introduction to training Level 2 in May 2006. There is also a strong influence from the original FatChance BellyDance format created by Carolena Nerricio, San Francisco. Fiona has taken several workshops with Carolena and completed her General Skills Training Certificate in 2007.

The Nouveau Fusion Bellydance classes provide learning in FiFi's own mash-up style incorporating various styles and influences but is closely related to what may be recognised as Tribal/Gothique Fusion Bellydance. This is focussed on individual dancer development specially targetting muscular driven dance movement. The style blends components of various dance disciplines (including western contemporary and classical styles) and many different artistic styles or movements (including Gothic, Art Deco/Nouveau and Indo-Oriental).
