She's an original member of legendary FatChanceBellyDance, founder/director of Ultra Gypsy, Djun Djun, Zambra!, and FOXGLOVE SWEETHEARTS. With over two decades of experience Jill aimed to explore an intimate collaborative experience with some extremely well trained inspiring & versatile bellydancers. Her goal is to create work heavily informed by traditional styles of dance while keeping her famous highly developed trademark sense of experimental twists, keen aesthetics & narrative approach to the form. Intoxicating, gorgeous & striking Foxglove Sweethearts bellydance a living, breathing, timeless art, creating a connection to the past through a modern lense. www.myspace.com/foxglovesweethearts

Documentary: "What is Tribal Style Bellydance" by Manca Pavli

2009-02-23T11:38:43Z

From Manca:
This is a short documentary I filmed while I was training in California in 2008.
It was a part of a visual anthropology project (I study ethnology and cultural anthropology in Slovenia), but I'm more of a dancer than I am a producer/cameraman/editor - so don't expect a professional film :)

I didn't want to define Tribal Style so I deliberately made a very "open" question - It was really interesting to see all what came out -
ATS, improvisation, community, theater, modern dance, pop, free form, ...

The question I asked the dancers was: "How do you think your style differs from other styles of bellydance. What is it like? How would you describe it to a general audience?"

Thanks to all the dancers who shared their thoughts:
Carolena Nericcio – FatChanceBellyDance
Kajira Djoumahna – Blacksheep Bellydance
Paulette Rees-Denis – Gypsy Caravan
Jill Parker – Ultra Gypsy
Ariellah Afalo – Deshret Dance Company
Heather Stants – Urban Tribal Dance Company
Elizabeth Strong – Bellydance Superstars
Kami Liddle – Bellydance Superstars
Amy Sigil – Unmata
Rachel Brice – The Indigo

Filmed and edited by Manca Pavli - Slovenia

Thanks to all of the dancers for their thoughts, time and inspiration!!!

- Hope you enjoy it -
Manca Pavli

2009-02-03T06:10:05Z

I first want to tell you again and again and again THANK YOU for both performance and WORKshop.
The Uzumé girls are internationally well known and appreciated for the way they travel the stage, they came here to share this precious knowledge with us. Tjarda you gave us your tricks with such generosity : sure I'll use it in my work now, you helped us with improving our so tiny sense of what a real dance show should be!
You, 2, were beautifull on stage too, for sure!
Can't wait to have your classes in Brussels in 2 weeks, I just want MORE and MORE.
Then, fun, warm community and DANCE at TF9 for us all.
And then Tribal UMRAH.
NB : Hey Tjarda, guess what? I keep in mind your great idea of a surf contest! You might be surprised!

San Francisco

2008-11-15T13:55:49Z

Hi girls,

Here's a message from SF...I am attending the San Francisco Mecca Immersion Event right now and yesterday the show was amazing...so many good dancers and collaboration. Mira Betz made me cry...well almost...the tears dried in my eyes, they didn't fall down. She also performed with Rose Harden and Elizabeth Strong...forgot the name of the troupe...really fantastic and she performed with Elizabeth and Zoe Jakes. And of course Mardi Love, FatChanceBellyDance, Beats Antique, Brass Menagerie...and today Frederique and Unmata, it is so nice to finally see everybody perform live instead of watching them on DVD, a world apart :)

Did a weeklong with Suhaila...and yes I am still alive...it's great to get my ass kicked! Kami Liddle is taking good care of me by showing me around and making me feel at home, and taking the same classes with me...the best host to start with...

Miss you all...yes I do...it's true...I miss talking dutch :)

36 nights of sleep before we (luckally not for good!) have to wave our sweet and beautifull Tjarda away at the airport...
She is coming to America, to learn and learn and have fun and learn: but-squeezes from Suhaila; fast and furious movements from Unmata; urban lounges from Urban Tribal; and popping & locking from that streetartist (you know, from the last topic with cool video's) and many many other things!
I'm sooo happy for her, cause she will learn such cool things! But I'll be missing my girly curly friend too...! So I'm also a little bit down... snik...snik...snotter...boehoe...

reveiling the Mystery...

2008-07-07T15:29:55Z

Most of you probably already know that we are with 4 Uzumé girls now :)))
The fourfold Uzumé debut was a great succes at our haflah with Sharon and Olivia and at Oriental Dream 2008.

We are very happy to have found Nadiya,
a beautiful and talented dancer from Rotterdam (www.nadiya.nl)
We've been working with her since January 2008 and hope to work with her for a long long time.
Nadiya is also a graphic designer (she designed our Uzumé tops)
and she is -as we speak!- mixing the music for our new dance.........it sounds goooood :)

anyway, check her out on: http://people.tribe.net/nadiya

Workshop video's?

2008-05-17T19:31:02Z

Since I haven't found an effective (and understandable) way yet to note down a choreography, I was wondering if any of you ladies out there have videos to share from the workshop by Olivia and Bear Hides and Buffalo by Sharon.

I will be forever grateful and I'll draw you a pretty picture of a kitten. Or a horsey. Or whatever animal you want. In your favorite color. <3

Workshop Drills 'n Zills

2008-05-13T14:53:46Z

Hey Ladies!

As I am guessing; you like to drill the moves until your body can actually do them while you are on the phone with your girlfriend?
Then my Drill / Shimmy workshops might be for u!

On sunday July 6 (13.00 - 14.30) I will teach a workshop on shimmy's with the Suhaila drillin' technique. 1,5 hour butt work-out!
We will do the exersises on the floor, in the circle and with chasse's pas de bouree's and grapevines. And ofcourse more shimmy's to vary. No choreography this time.

After that a workshop on Zills for all level's (15.00 - 16.30). We will look at the underlying basic technique so you can develop you zills-skills at home and combine them with your favorite steps. Lot's of Playing & Dancing.

The workshops will focus on your technique and abilities, not on you personal unique style, so bellydancers as well as tribal fusion dancers will enjoy this!

The workshops are in Utrecht at the Dansvloer.

For more details you can visit my website: www.arya.nu

Hope to see some of you there!

Programma Wereld Buikdansdag 2008

Hallo allemaal,

In het kader van Wereld Buikdansdag zal op zaterdag 10 mei 2008 een benefiet worden gehouden ten behoeven van en ten baten van NEMA. (vereniging voor mensen met een NEuro Musculaire Aandoening).

Locatie: Dancing Kempenhof, Bert Leysenlaan 20, Balen. België.

Workshop info:
Van 14.30 tot 16.30

"Love you Veil" met Artemisia ( België).

Heb je nog nooit met een sluier gedanst? Probeerde je het al, maar ben je nog niet zeker of het je wel leuk vind? Of dans je integendeel al jaren en is de sluier ook jouw favoriete prop? Artemisia is in België en ver buiten de grenzen gekend voor haar magie met de zijden sluier. In deze workshop deelt ze haar aanpak, visie en... natuurlijk ook haar "trukkendoos". No secrets! Deze workshops is zowel geschikt voor de absolute beginner als voor de gevorderde danseres op zoek naar iets nieuw.
Breng liefst je eigen sluier mee (als je die hebt is een rechthoekige in zijde ideaal), voor beginners zijn er ook uitleenexemplaren voorzien.

Van 15.00 tot 16.30

"Een Dansbeleving", met Sitara en Rhythm of Ra. ( Nederland)

Een speciaal aangepaste workshop voor de leden van NEMA, hun begeleiders en genodigden, waaraan ook belangstellenden bezoekers zullen kunnen deelnemen.
Een introductie workshop Oriëntaalse Dans. Wat is Oriëntaalse Dans en hoe passen we deze danskunst toe in beleving van de praktijk. Al dan niet met gebruik van een (rol)stoel, deze dansbeleving is mogelijk voor iedereen.

van 17.00 uur tot 18.00 uur een dansshow.

met optredens van o.a.:

Dansgroep (E)Motion (Tribaret)
Artemisia (Oriental Solo)
Duo Luna en Chadia ( Wings en drumsolo)
Kali (ATS)
Duo Rosita en Danielle ( La Mezcla) (Tribal)
Rachid Alexander ( Oriental classic)

19.00 tot 20.00 uur een tweede dansshow:

met optreden van o.a.:

Dansgroep (E)Motion (sluier)
Duo Sherien Judith ( La Mezcla) (Cabaret)
Duo Rosita Danielle ( La Mezcla) (Tribal)
Luna (Bellybreak)
Chadia (Sluier)
Sarah Cebaro plus Dansgroep (Fusion Bellydance)
Artemisia (Sluier)
Bellina (Oriental)

Van 20.30 tot 24.00 uur een feestelijke dansavond om de wereldwijde verbondenheid in de dans te vieren op deze Wereld Buikdansdag.

De hele dag zal er een gezellige Souk te bezoeken zijn.

Entré: Euro 10,-- p.p. all in. (workshops, shows, dansavond en toegang Souk).

Kaartverkoop aan de zaal, geen reservering mogelijk.

De leden van NEMA zullen de gehele dag aanwezig zijn en met en door alle activiteiten in het zonnetje worden gezet met een echte verwendag. Daarnaast zullen alle baten van deze dag hen toekomen.

Kom dus op zaterdag 10 mei naar "Dancing Kempenhof" in Balen en maak door het samen genieten van dans tijdens deze Wereld Buikdansdag een droom waar voor NEMA.

Tribal:Pura /Finland

2008-04-02T19:51:41Z

Carolena and Megha will be teaching for 3 days, more than 13 hrs during Gathering of The Tribes event in August, 2-4.

The goal of the event is to get tribal dancers from all over the Europe together, share their love for this danceform and create new contacts. Why not just to group together, combine the yearly vacation with a great possibility to dance with Megha and Carolena in "exotic" country like Finland?

The price of the WS is 200 euro - that makes about 15 euro/hour. Or the whole package including training and accommodation for 4 nights in the beautiful environment close to lake, including breakfasts, transportation to the place where the classes are held - and back, only 470 euro. Being comparing the prices I can say it's far more cheaper than any event around this topic in Europe this year. Workshop prices are normally around 20 euro/ hour and accommodation with workshops for the 4 nights can be 769 euro this very day. Don't forget the the bonus each can reach - additional free workshop for the group of 11. Use it to reduce the price from each or to get your own for free.

Good news is that this leaves a lot of space for travelling expenses - and if you can use Ryanair you can even get your flight with the pocket money. Check their site if they have an airport close to you: www.ryanair.com

Ask also group prices from your flight company - they might give some discount as well.

Is there any good reason not to come?
