Nice! Beautiful isolations. I know it's a drum solo but it would be nice to see just a little footwork too, even if it's just changing which part of the audience you are facing.
ATS is alot more dramatic and serious almost. I think of it as the emo bellydance. The ATS peice I'm learning is much slower and we have more footwork, but then I'm dancing in a troupe. Does anyone know of a good traditional Turkish video I can watch, with less Cabaret than I seem to be finding in my searches?
This video is only 2 years old. Carol Vance (Gypsy Caravan), Darshan (Carol's daughter), Carolena Nericcio (who copyrighted ATS) and so many others have been dancing Tribal style almost 30 years now, which is long before many of today's enthusiasts were even thought of.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
not bad but she must move all of her body she is standing without moving n thats boring cuz she didnt show anything new ,she is doing the same thing!!
I love her technique, she's great! But I agree that I would have liked to see her travel around the dance floor rather than just stand in one spot. :D Great work!
Dude, if you wanted a dancer that took up all the dance space, you'd be looking for Turkish and Lebanese bellydance. Tribal and Egyptian style dancers don't travel across the floor. Isolation is very key in Tribal.
Although I credit some of my dance vocabulary to The Indigo and FatChance, I did want to clarify that American Tribal dancers don't travel across the floor with the same high octane movements as Turkish (Rom/gypsy) dancers do. American Tribal tends to be more grounded and proud, while the Turkish style is very ebullient and lively.
I think you are confused. American Indians were much more lively. Turkish style, you basically move your hips and arms. American Indians danced with fire and required tremendous energy and physical agility. I've seen both dances. Turks are way more reserved. Also in the USA alone, there were more than 500 tribes and they all had unique styles. That means hundreds of thousands of different styles.
MuniNunkle, Marydance's commentary is more correct than yours. Tribal style began with Carolena Nericcio in 1987. She is the founder of American Tribal Style. ATS is a blend of middle eastern, north African, and European dance styles. It has less to do with Native American dance. Tribal has evolved into Tribal Fusion, being especially prominent in the coastal areas of the US. Two African tribes that have influenced the dance include the Ghawazee in Egypt, and the Ouled Nail in Algeria.
To further elaborate, dancers such as Heather Stants, Suhaila Salimpour, Rachel Brice, and Ariellah, have changed and molded Tribal style into different offshoots of the dance. It now has elements of hip hop, and street dance blended together as well. Overall, Tribal style bellydance is very modern compared to other dance forms.
American tribal dance began thousands of years ago with the Native Americans. Their dances are far more energetic than the one shown here. I wasn't commenting on ATS dances. Maryadance said American tribal dancers are more grounded and they're not. This dance is not American tribal dancing as it has nothing to do with American culture.
With all due respect, I think you have misinterpreted the subject here. Marydance referred to dancers who practice American Tribal Style. American Tribal Style dancers ARE more grounded, and improvisation is emphasized. This video is a prime example of Tribal Fusion, an outgrowth of ATS. NO ONE here is discussing Native American dance.
Turkish style is a little more complex than "moving your hips and arms." The movements are more lively, and celebratory. Marina on "Bellydance Divas" offers a great example of Turkish style bellydance. Contrast Turkish style with Egyptian, which resembles ballet in its refined and more constricted movements. Please continue to do more research on Middle Eastern dance.
Originally, Middle Eastern dance was meant to be performed in a small, confined area. Hence, isolations became key to the dance. Strong traveling movements were later integrated due to the influence of western culture. The veil is also a perfect example of a western influence to Middle Eastern dance.
her isolations are nice and i know a lot of Tribal Fusion performers don't smile but there's a difference in looking mysterious and looking mad, she just looks pissed.
Hmm...this video may seem boring to some since ATS isn't as lively as other styles of belly dancing. The point is to appreciate the wonderful control of muscles and the sharp isolations. .
hi! Just to provide a little education on Tribal styles. ATS is American Tribal Style and has over 70 moves in its vocabulary which is done in group improves choreography such as Fat Chance Belly Dance and Black Sheep Bellydance ( and many others ). She is doing a fusion style
part 2: of bellydance that is what is now being called Tribal Fusion. Tribal mostly because of the costuming because it is not Cabaret and Fusion because it is not "traditional" bellydance. I think she did a very nice job! :) However, I would like to see a nicer arm placement and movements and facial interaction . .sometimes an eyebrow or a smirk can say alot ! :)
oh, and ATS is soo much fun when its performed with spirit! :) I love it!
To be honest, I am always on youtube looking for belly dance clips that inspire me and this girl is one of the very few that does. I find myself coming back to watch pretty often. I love the head slides with the hip slides, looks great. I also like how her costuming fades into the background, it makes it look like her torso is just floating there, dancing away! Nice job! Like the music too!

She is awasome!!!! Very beautiful!!!!I don't now if I can download this video I really want to have this video on my computer...Do you think that you can send the video to my email????
Hip pops need to be timed a little better (I wouldn't say so, but it is a drum solo and the hips are popping a little after the beat. The arrangement is good, drifting from upper to lower body... and the dancer is beautiful. Practice using your face as you drift from lower body to upper... then think "how's my face". It's tough to stay relaxed in a drumsolo, but I think you have all it takes to do so. peace
