Tribal SDstyle is really excited to host Joyce Axelrod's "Beyond The Bellydance". This is personally special to me as I got to meet many of these ladies when my co-founder of Velvet Gypsy Tribal, Devorah Wolfe, taught her tribal belly dance class in San Diego back in 2004.
Here is more info from the Press Release.
“Beyond The Bellydance”
An inspiring documentary about music and dance,
and true stories of women, friends and bonding!
In the quaint little mountain town of, eleven women have found a new and added rhythm to their lives. These women of all ages, sizes and backgrounds - a bookkeeper , a massage therapist, a business woman, an animal rescuer, a house painter, a weaver plus their drummer musicians– have been enchanted and intoxicated by the ancient, mysterious and sensual dance: The belly dance! It has changed their lives and given them a sense of community, friendship and profound fulfillment of being part of something larger than themselves.
"This is peek into the lives of 11 women in the backcountry mountain town of Julian, California and how they have created a deep bond of friendship, self confidence and an
artistic voice through their love of belly dancing!"
See this dance of expression, how hearth & home meet bare, rolling tummies and how it has created a deep bond of self confidence and an artistic voice as the Mountain Tribal Gypsy Belly Dance troupe. www.beyondbellydance.org/
San Diego film documentarian Joyce Axelrod, has just completed this insightful look into the dancers and musicians who comprise this band of gypsy spirits. When asked why she took on this project Joyce answers quite simply, “ I hope the documentary will, above all be entertaining for both men and women. And through these personal stories, women will be able to accept their bodies and find joy in dance-whether it be belly dance or other forms of physical and creative movement.”
With hints of further aspiration Joyce adds that she considers this a perfect subject for cable television or film and belly dance festivals. One detects a sense of mission behind her vision. Through many months of rigorous labor on this film she continues to be moved by the passionate human story behind the pageantry of performance that has so enriched the community.
The documentary shows a woman’s transformed image of herself and how she finds freedom through joyous self-acceptance. It shows how art can inspire one to re-create the world around us.
