As you spend time along your path you begin to acquire treasures. Part of the fun of being a tribal belly dancer is all of the costuming options you have. There are full skirts of different patterns, different textured tops, and so many colors to choose from. And don't forget all the sparkly decorations for our hips and hair! Each dancer's style and wardrobe speak a bit to their spirit, helping to create a unique look for stage. I want show you the various types of the treasures and help you feel confident in picking those bold pieces. I hope this inspires you to be free to create your style. Creating Your Own Style

Mm Mm Monday - UJBABA at Tribal Fest 2014
Monday, May 19, 2014
The videos have been pouring in from Tribal Fest 2014. As usual, they run the gamut of tribal interpretations. A real standout for me was UJBABA from Russia. I have enjoyed their videos many times before, and this one is no exception. They take it old school in the costuming, rocking the turbans with tassel belts no less. They dance to one of my favorite songs, and blend classic with modern ATS seamlessly and with complete poise. Enjoy!

What is ATS to YOU? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
"Like any language you are only as good as you practice. I speak many other dance languages/styles and don’t get to practice this one as often as I would like so I am not as fluent as I would like. I am regionally removed from where this language originated so my dialect tends to be a bit different than its originators. I have been speaking it within a small group for 17 years so we have developed slang that is only understood within our group, it is difficult to drop our slang terms when dancing with people outside our group but I am better about that lately. One of my main hindrances in ATS is that I learned the language a long time ago and so my dialect tends to contain lots of old terminology and not much new. Even with all those hindrances I can still dance with thousands of other dancers in the world at the drop of a hat with little, to no, prep ahead of time. That is just fun dammit."
