What should I wear?
Pants (not jeans), tights/leggings or a full skirt you can wear comfortably on your hips. A comfortable top - one where you can move your arms freely. In Tribal Style we spend a lot of time with our arms above our heads, so you don't want to wear a top that will restrict your arm movement - a fitting top is ideal, plus a shawl or scarf for hips to accentuate movement.
You don’t have to show your belly - it is optional.
Bare feet or dance slippers, long hair tied up.
What should I bring?
Water bottle, money for library items & costuming, pen & paper for notes, a sense of humour and a willingness to learn and co-operate with your fellow dancers.
I am available for private tuition, performance, hens nights, functions & parties. Please contact me for details.
