Back to basics....

Tonight, I went to a bellydance workshop put on by my teacher. It was on American Tribal Stylie which is the type I started with back in Regina. It is mostly improvisation with a certain set of moves that the leader cues by specific arm positions or verbal cues. I love it because it really connects you with the other people you are dancing with. It was good to return to that style of dance because my teacher usually teaches tribal fusion which focuses on isolations and is more focused on choreography and solos. I am enjoying the fusion classes but it was nice to go back to the reason I fell in love with the dance. So today's favourite things is the improvisation and group dynamics of American Tribal Style bellydance.
