Tribal Style:
" Bellydance has many different names and many different styles from
various regions. Here in the United States, the most popular style
performed is the traditional Egyptian cabaret style known as Raks al
Sharki or Oriental Dance. However, a new style has emerged,
especially on the west coast, American Tribal Style Bellydance. It is
an ethnic fusion style, influenced by Middle Eastern dance but
inspired by American artistic sensibilities. It has nothing to do
with representing a particular tribe, but it combines movement
vocabularies and regional costuming to form one cohesive
presentation. The "American" part of the label acknowledges that the
dancers are continents away from the culture that created the dance
form and are taking artistic license with it. "
