Tribal Style Belly Dance Troupe, Macomb, IL


Our tribe. We look maaahvelous!

Congratulations, Isabella, on your graduation! Inanna hugs Isabella, who is leaving to study for a semester in Brazil.

Mommy-to-be Hafa and Afsana.

Chenzira and Tinkerbell Boogaloo

Live music is magic! What a treat for us to have such talented drummers.

That glazed over look in their eyes indicates the drummers have all gone into an altered state of consciousness. Rhythms in Middle Eastern music can induce a trance.

Tinkerbell and Sabah get funky!

Julie, Sabah, and Tinkerbell getting down with their bad selves.

Ha ha! My stick is bigger than your stick! Chenzira and Jal practice their staff dance.

Pretty red and purple metallic veil with a spiral pattern. Eye heart this fabric so much. It's awesome.
