Tribal Belly Dance - Kathy Stahlman 408.705.3655
American Tribal Style belly dance is an exciting and exotic fusion of dance movements and costuming inspired by entertainers from India, North Africa, the Middle East, and Spain. Posture, costuming and musical choices distinguish Tribal Style from other forms of belly dance. Because of these fundamental differences, the Tribal Style excels in the development of self-confidence, strength, camaraderie, awareness of self and others, and being in the moment.
