Midori, the first certified GCTB Teacher in Japan!

You need some guidance and assistance? We have a successful dance class format, with many creative ideas for you to, first, honor you and your dance, so you can pass on the legacy too.

1. The first step is to complete the Certification in our Collective Soul Level One course (if you haven’t yet) to get the big picture of Tribal including basic technique improvement, history, and the opportunity to dig into your dance dreams. Become the dancer you want to be! Each of the six levels of Collective Soul leads you to the corresponding levels of Teacher Training, so you can keep advancing your training too. You can read up on Collective Soul here….

2. In the Teacher Training Level One, you will learn how to teach this dance, including

Breaking down and teaching GC Tribal Bellydance technique
What makes a good teacher
How to not only do the correct moves, but to speak them several ways
How to excite others with this powerful and evocative dance.
Dance class organization with our incredible format
Business savvy- oh yes, I want you to be successful
and much more…

I want you…to…

I want you to work your body.
I want you to dance with beauty, health, strength, empowerment.
I want you to learn how to be a great teacher and dancer, and share the tribal love and the tribal lifestyle in your community.
I want you to be a successful businessperson, to support yourself by building your dream job or creating additional side income doing something you love.
I want you to feel your own value, love and beauty, to love your body and be confident… and to make others feel good, no…freakin’ great!

This is about getting started and/or improving upon what you already know, and how to share the dance with others.…

You may begin with just a class or two or three a week, to get your tribal groove on and to share the tribal juiciness…then you can add more levels of study and grow your dance business and opportunities.

And no worries, this is not to put it all on stage and plan performances and all that goes on with that, not yet. Gigs may come later if you desire.

How do these courses make you feel?
Rave Reviews from dancers just like you!

“I wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone that welcomed me in their dance lives during my stay in Portland. I am still riding such a positive high from the lessons, the dance, meeting everyone, and learning from the wonderful Paulette Rees-Denis. She is a stunning human being, so loving and so worthy of admiration. I hope to stay in touch with everyone and hopefully seeing our paths cross again because we’re part of such a beautiful thing called Tribal Bellydance.”

– Martha Rosas, Kansas

I certainly got what I needed and so much more. It has helped me to develop me, and also to structure my classes better, organize myself better, and has helped me plan what more I need to do. I have more appreciation for my students, which makes me want to give them more. It has given me a clear, open and safe path to follow: Clear – because I know where my dance future lies. Open – because it’s accessible, it IS for everyone. And Safe – because Gypsy Caravan is a family, I belong in the family and that gives me a warm and tingly feeling, knowing that others feel the same way. I feel much more at ease with my dancing, I feel more at ease with my teaching and I know that I am progressing well.

To any embarking on this journey of dance, you cannot find a better teacher, mentor or guide than Paulette. She is an inspiration to all who meet her and anyone who is interested in studying this style of tribal bellydance. She is also a very down-to-earth, friendly, knowledgeable, spiritual but grounded person. It is my very good fortune that I have Paulette in my life. I will be eternally grateful to her for the support, advice and very importantly her friendship.

Wendy Hughes, Wales

My Collective Soul and Teacher Training experiences have helped me be a better dancer in every way. They have helped me grow as a person and develop confidence in myself as an artist.

But through the process of becoming a teacher under her mentorship I have learned so much more: how to be a conduit for students’ own evolution, how to read people and see their strengths, how to explain things differently to different people, how to be an ethical leader, and how to trust my intuition.

Through these experiences I have discovered my passion for teaching and have now been able to successfully develop and lead my own classes and troupe.

Thank you Paulette, for all your wisdom, and for creating this beautiful style of dance!

Hilary Giovale, Arizona

“Thank you, Paulette, for a memorable two days of Collective Soul One. It took me three days to descend from my Tribal CS high, and in the process I experienced a wide range of emotions and new awareness of body and mind. To say that my “gift box” has expanded to overflowing is an understatement. These new gifts include a much deeper connection with the music, a deeper connection to my whole body in movement, as well as a deep connection to the courageous feminine spirit – watching the women that I danced with bare their souls to receive your and Amanda’s teachings.

This Tribal journey is fascinating, joyful, and soul expanding, and I am so very grateful to you for your life’s work in creating this beautiful and powerful dance and paving the way for all of us.”

– Wanda Walker, Washington

Thanks again for your support and encouragement this weekend. Your gracious coaching, your patience and tolerance for dancers of different levels, your down-to-earth attitude, and your selfless sharing were deeply appreciated.

For me, you embodied the heart and soul of tribal. I consider it an honor to have danced with you.

-Bonnie Reese, Pennsylvania

“I enjoyed the Collective Soul Training throughout the experience, but now that it is done I look back and realize I enjoyed it more than I knew. I say that because I was so in the moment during classes and testing that only now settled at home can I really look back at all I was given and how excellent the experience was.

I got more than I had hoped for. The experience dispelled my concerns about certification programs and allowed me to test myself and immerse more into the Tribal Culture. It will allow me to have more confidence in my movement and in the names and details of each movement. It gave me a better understanding of our music and zilling. It allowed me to broaden my relationships with other dancers and finally gave me and my troupe a common experience to build on.

I have been lucky to workshop with many dancers and I have enjoyed their teaching but I have never been instructed by such a warm, charismatic woman as Paulette. She draws out feelings and movement that you did not know you had inside. She is tough and gives nothing away but this only makes you more aware of what you have earned. I am a teacher by trade both in education and dance and I have taught all ages so it is with confidence that I recommend Paulette as an instructor and creator of a fabulous system of movement and education. She knows her stuff!

Thank you again for your knowledge and the care that you gave us. This was so needed in my life right now and in my dance. Keep on dancing and conquering the world one hip at a time!”

– Amy Tucker, www.gaiatribal.com, Alaska

“Quite simply, Collective Soul was a life-changing experience. Spending so much time with Paulette and like-minded dancing sisters … so many beautiful, creative hearts! Dancing, playing, talking tribal, chilling, sharing meals and laughter and sunshine. I learned so much about the dance, about life and about myself!

Technique was covered thoroughly, which was exactly what I needed, but Collective Soul reached far beyond that. It reached into the music to which we dance; into those rhythms which move our souls and our hips and into how we can honour and respect them in our dancing and playing. And it reached into the very heart of tribal; into what it is that brings us together as one Collective Soul.

Collective Soul has made me so much more aware of my technique, in particular my posture. It has helped to build my confidence in dancing and in sharing that dance. But more than that it has helped me to become more aware of myself as a dancer, of why I dance and of how this beautiful dance speaks to me. It has been a most significant step on my dance journey … towards becoming the very best dancer I can be.

Paulette is an inspirational teacher, mentor and friend. Her wealth of knowledge, experience and passion are shared so freely and with such love that she cannot help but fire up the same passion in her students – a burning desire to honour her teaching and dance. Yes, she challenges, but also supports and encourages all those who learn from her to be the very best that they can be. I am honoured to have her as part of my dance journey = long may it continue!”
