After receiving your feedback regarding this year's Tribal Dance Camp, we have decided to move the event to Austin, TX in an effort to make it more affordable and convenient for many of you. It's true that we will miss out on the camp atmosphere this time, but you'll still get the experience of expert instruction in an intimate limited-enrollment environment at a price that fits today's budget. And who know's... maybe we'll have s'mores for lunch?

Come join us for workshops with

Zafira Workshop 3
Boring dance routines got you down? Are you looking for something to resuscitate your creativity? Well, let Zafira help you breathe life into your dance practice. Drama, musicality, and technique are addressed in this workshop. First, we will build several tribal fusion combinations that incorporate contemporary dance with bellydance torso work—focusing on technique and alignment. Then, we will use these combos to experiment with musicality, emotion, and nuanced gestures in order to bring these young Frankensteins to life.(skill mastery, composition and expression)




About Zafira Dance Company:

Zafira Dance Company's performances are opulent vignettes that combine Bellydance with contemporary and ethnic dance forms. The result is an ornate performance that blurs the boundary between old and new; performer and audience, earthy and elegant.



Guided by the mood of the music, Zafira draws the viewer into each piece by shaping rhythm and melody into gesture and form. Liquid movements, staccato accents and textured choreographies capture a timeless beauty that expresses both the sensuality and strength of the female form.



Zafira Dance Company members work together as a collective. Christine Andrews, Maria Hamer, and Olivia Kissel have been teaching and performing together since 1996. Their friendship and love of dance shines through in each performance. Each member is a contributing artist and brings something unique to the company. This collective approach allows Zafira to offer a unique and powerful dance experience like no other.



Zafira teaches and performs regularly in venues that range from intimate café settings to full-scale theater productions in Pittsburgh and at dance festivals around the world. Zafira has won mulitiple awards in recognition of their innovative approach to ethnic and contemporary dance, including the honored Golden Bellydance Award from Zaghareet Magazine.



About Just Trudi:

Just Trudi is an award winning fusion bellydance performer and instructor from Dallas. Winning first place at Yaa Halla Y'all 2007, for People's Choice, she has established herself as a loved soloist in the North Texas area. She started bellydance in 2001, but fell in love with fusion dance in 2002. Fusion fulfilled her frustrated Broadway dreams of a little girl in love with musicals on TV. Trudi has gone from dancing in her bedroom to filling the stages of Scarborough, Denton Arts and Jazz, Mayfest, Tribal Fest, 3rd Coast, Tribal Alchemy and Yaa Halla Y'all. Trudi serves the bellydance community on the board of NTMEDA, and as a co-producer of Tribal Alchemy. She is a proud member of Visions in Dance, and when not being creative by dancing with her friends, she is deeply inspired by Mira Betz, Sahra Saeeda, Zoe Jakes, Aziza, UNMATA, Virginia, and Bozenka. She looks forward to continuing her journey of learning about dance and music throughout her life.
