Tribal Fusion






In April, we went to one of Molly's belly-dancing performances and had a lot of fun. Molly was really good. She does a form of belly dancing referred to as "tribal fusion" where the routines aren't choreographed. She has to watch her instructor for cues on what to do next.
Talk about nerve-wracking. Plus, sometimes her instructor will give a cue but then mess up and start the wrong sequence. Of course, you are supposed to follow her, no matter if she's right or wrong. The way they were standing on stage reminded me of a flock of seagulls in V formation-or was that the Mighty Ducks? Molly had Bunco at her house on Wednesday, and she had Arabian Nights as the theme, and she even gave us a private performance and let us dance, too. Youtube tribal fusion to see more... Youtube Drakon belly dance to see the gentleman in the top picture dance-he's the infamous Drakon, whom I've been lucky enough to watch twice now. He has a famous sword dance you can youtube, too.
