This performance, by Amalia Maya, introduced me to the wonderful belly dance style, tribal fusion. I was so entranced with this performance I had to know more about this style and watch more performances like this. Look out, tribal fusion performances will be the focus in the coming weeks!

I love this particular performance because of her snake like moves. Her pops and locks are precise but she’s also very fluid with her undulations. I guess the reason I like tribal fusion so much is because it was so different from the Egyptian or Turkish style that I was familiar with. It may be a common style among belly dance circles but it was definitely new to a novice like me.
