Deirdre’s Taking Tribal Global –Viva La Danse!
Bonjour! Hello! I am back in Scotland following a great trip to Paris at the BellyFusions Festival , and loved being there and teaching Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance® workshops.
This was the first time Gypsy Caravan had been invited and it was a great experience to meet so many dancers and pass on, what was to many, a new style of tribal bellydance—working moves and combinations on the left and the right side, learning new ways to move, define moves, and improvise these in different formations in the moment. There was a lovely, friendly, and fun energy in the room, and at the Festival generally. It highlighted, in real time, how a love of dance, teaching dance movement, and connection doesn’t need a common verbal language. My rusty school French and the students’ great English overcame any additional needs on a practical level!
I also had the pleasure and the challenge of performing at the sold-out show. It was a professional affair in a small theater full of an appreciative audience. There was a great variety of belly and dance fusion performers who were all fun to be back-stage with. They were from across the world—Chile, US, Spain, Italy, and, of course, France and UK (moi!) were represented, too. Our GC tribal style rocks group dancing, but when my sister, fellow GC Master Teacher, Cinzia from Italy, had been unable to attend with me, the show had to go on with resilience, confidence, and a french-language boosting opportunity. I enjoyed performing a set that showcased both yummy slow moves as well as some earthy goodness to a receptive audience!
Gypsy Caravan will be visiting France again in July as Paulette teaches at Tribal Umrah in Lyon and hopefully there’ll be some familiar faces from Paris. Il sera bon de vous y voir! (It will be good to see you there!)
Having the common language, passion, and interest in learning, camaraderie and great music is universal, we know it…but it was SUCH an experience to feel it reinforced beaucoup!
What’s your tales of dance adventure, home or abroad for you? Share please, go on!
Thank you, yours in dance
