About TribalTique
TribalTique was formed in the summer of 2004 by co-directors Julia DiVerdi and Molly McClellan in an effort to further explore and create a new vision of American Tribal Style Belly Dance in Northern Colorado. Their unique style combines classic ATS posture, vocabulary, and improvisational cue dancing with polished technique and cutting edge fusion. With over 13 years combined belly dance experience as both performers and instructors the partnership has flourished and firmly established TribalTique on the tribal belly dance circuit.

What is American Tribal Belly Dance?
American Tribal Belly Dance was started about 20 years ago on the West Coast. It is a specific style of belly dance comprised of many distinct elements. One of the most apparent distinctions is the elaborate costume which often consists of layers of fabric, decorated turbans, and heavy, ethnic jewelry. Tribal Style performance consists of a chorus or circle of dancers providing a backdrop for solos, duets, and trios. Performances are seldom choreographed but rather cued from a vocabulary of movement by a designated lead dancer. This encourages a spirit of team work, awareness and cooperation, all parts of being a "tribe".
