Tribal Belly Dance Classes as Information Ground
Whether women initially engage in tribal belly dance classes for exercise, fun, learning, or to meet people, it is community the continually draws women back to class week after week, year after year.
Information sharing at tribal belly dance class is abundant before and after each class. We talk about costuming (vendor websites, eBay searches to try, local fabric and craft stores to visit, techniques, costuming/sewing classes), upcoming festivals of all sorts (tribal belly dance, ethic dance, belly dance, Burning Man, fairy festivals, Oregon State Fair, Folklife), upcoming local performances (musical, dance, modern dance), music (iTunes searches and both virtual and physical music stores to visit), visiting belly dance instructors, belly dance networking websites, and more. Tribal belly dance class is where we learn to dance, it is where we form and reinforce our community, and it is where we come together as sisters with a common shared interest to develop our knowledge of all aspects of the dance.
