7, 8, 9 of march 2003
Third Year of the largest Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Seminar & Gala Show on the East Coast of the Essence and the Beauty of an amazing group of renowned & inspiring teachers to give us a blend and the merge of different styles.
We are here to celebrate the SPIRIT OF THE TRIBES, the Spirit of the different cultures that we honor in our movements and our Dance, and the Spirit of the Gypsies. We are here to celebrate mother India. We are here to celebrate the fusion tribal style of our dance, who came to reconnect our dance in a more theatrical, dramatic, magical dimension and brings us together creating a feeling of unity, bonding, and blending energies.
We want to welcome this array of most beautiful, renowned, talented GUEST INSTRUCTORS, who are here for this wonderful gathering!!!!!
We want to welcome all the DANCERS, TROUPES & MUSICIANS, sharing their talent and beauty and like the gypsies they came from all over the country with their flying skirts!!!!!
We want to welcome all the VENDORS and their tribal colors bringing to us images of ancient lands!!!!!!
Since Maja started to sponsor the SPIRIT of the TRIBES 3 years ago, from year to year we can witness how much the Tribal Fusion Bellydance style grew up on this side of the country, with new troupes forming and expanding and now bringing their musicians, and this is what this gathering is about. The Magic of New possibilities.
We welcome MAJA's vision, her dreams & her hopes to see the Tribal community on the East Coast to get to know each other and be recognized.
