Q- What is Tribal Group Improv?
A- It is un-choreographed group dancing to either live or
recorded music that the dancers are familiar with.
There is a leader or leaders who communicate to the
other dancers what moves or series of moves come next
via their posture, arm movements and other signals.
Q- Where can I learn to dance like that?
A- Mari teaches beginning classes at the Warren Rd. Community
Center located on Warren Rd. off of Washington Rd. Classes are
$5 each and are held Mondays from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Jeannie and Donna teach classes at the Y as well. Email for info on those.
Q- Can men learn this dance too?
A- Of course! Classes are open to all people: that means all
sizes, colors, shapes, as well as genders. In traditional
Middle Eastern dance, both sexes dance. A male bellydancer we
particularly admire, for example, is John Compton.
Q- How long does it take until you can perform?
A- It depends on how much effort you put into it. It
only took some of us a matter of months until we were
ready for a public show; others never want to perform
in public.

asserted aims the transmutation of base metals into gold,
the discovery of the panacea, and the preparation of the
