Need a little something about Paulette?

You might know Paulette Rees­-Denis as a global nomad, tribal bellydancing innovator, but really, as an initiator of feminine empowerment, her passionate work is ultimately about guiding women on a Dance and Desire journey to emrich them through movement, words, and personal creative beauty.

As a writer and an international dance force for the past twenty­ five years, her bio is impressively long, but to share a few: she wrote the book, Tribal Vision: A Celebration Of Life Through Tribal Belly Dance, has been featured in magazines (such as Zaghareet, Fuse, Shimmy), and other books (The Tribal Bible, The Bellydance Book). She is a Transformational Lifestyle Coach,  teaches workshops and Intensives around the world and online, innovated a Divine Feminine Fitness style called Tribal Grooves®, certifies teachers and Master Teachers to carry on the legacy and has produced several award­winning teaching DVDs and musical CDs with her performing group, The Gypsy Caravan Dance Company.

Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance®, often considered a lifestyle along with the dance, is based on core centered movement and wellness, a structured, improvisational format, with a community spirit.

When she’s not teaching and writing, you can find her glamping with her man and corgi dog in one of her vintage trailers, or playing guitar and washboard with her friends and family.

Paulette Rees­Denis has been a motivational speaker and an innovator not only in her hometown of Portland, Oregon but world­wide, as an international cutting-edge dance force since 1991, with her enigmatic style of dance ­­Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance®. Her part memoir, part experiential book, Tribal Vision: A Celebration of Tribal Belly Dance (Cultivator Press, 2008), has received glowing praise, telling her stories and sharing other dancer’s tales around this dance style. Paulette  is a Transformational Lifestyle Coach while she directs the global dance troupe, Gypsy Caravan Dance Company, International, presenting  her in­ demand Tribal workshops, Tribal Gooves®, Dance and Desire, Collective Soul and Teacher Training intensive certification programs around the world and online.

Her Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance® Styling is an eclectic, invigorating, and elegant fusion based on urban, folk, ritual, trance, bellydance, and modern dances. With a background in classical dance training, Paulette has created this rich blend of contemporary movement, based on a common non­verbal language and group improvisation, which is esthetically pleasing, spiritually grounding, and physically challenging and rewarding. While the dance evokes a feeling of ancient times, of tribal spirit and camraderie, of family, of personal freedom, it is important for it to be recognized as a dance of today. The community aspect of the dance, the circle, with its exciting creative synchronicity, brings dancers together in total acceptance and support of each other, as they make magic together. The beauty of the dance is that it is different for everyone and every body.

Sharing the passion of the dance, along with words, Paulette blogs weekly on her site, presents Heart and Hustle: Visionary Healers, Movers, and Shakers video blos and weekly FB Live. She has written extensively for magazines such as Fuse and Zaghareet. She combines teaching, coaching, writing, and dance in several of her in person and online courses, sharing other’s experiences with the dance.
