The definitions I've seen vary, but is it a true style, mix of stuff, or just costuming related? How can you tell if a performance is "tribaret"? In case anyone is wondering, I did recently buy a DVD on it.
This is what I like about it, the appearance and its variations. But it seems to delve deeper than just that, which brings on my question. I tend to have a lot of questions though :redface:Tribaret reminds me of (note I did not say IS) what we used to just call belly dance around here. We didn't know Turkish from Egyptian from fantasy, or maybe some of us did & just loved putting it all together anyway. We had a fascination with all things "ethnic" while still being bitten by the glitter bug to various degrees. It was reflected in dance as well as costuming, and also in the music available at the time. Melting pot belly dance more than a conscious fusion. I feel like today, tribaret says, yes, we know the distinct styles and can do them if we want to, but we also ENJOY that melting pot excitement and are doing this as a conscious choice. I don't see it as a fusion as much as a dance creole since its not 2 distinct, recognizable forms blended, but a pinch from here and a dash from there, but even so, it is definitely developing its own distinct aesthetic as trends evolve.
Tribaret/Glamour Tribal Belly Dance Photo Album - tribe.net I think this helpsCould you people give some links to videos or pictures. I tried to find some, but I'm still quite confused about what tribaret even looks like.
Yes, I did and I love it. My only complaint is that it goes a bit fast, especially on the intermediate moves, and I'm still a beginner. I could keep up though.Did you get Carrie Kohnya's dvd? What did you think of it? I have considered getting it. I think she's a great dancer and I was curious about her perspective on the "tribaret" thing.
For years I think it was mostly a costuming term. Similar to "glitter tribal" or "Glamour tribal." Now I think it is referring to a dance style, but I haven't seen anybody attempt to define (successfully) what "tribaret" is AS A STYLE. Time will tell, I guess.
Tribaret is a fusion of ATS/ITS and Oriental BD styles. Tribal Fusion has infused "world dance", hip-hop, and industrial.What's the difference between Tribaret and Tribal Fusion?
Tribaret is a fusion of ATS/ITS and Oriental BD styles. Tribal Fusion has infused "world dance", hip-hop, and industrial.
My head hurts
Modern American Oriental has an American Jazz influence. The Classic/Vintage American Oriental was a mix of styles depending on the city and makeup of the local immigrant population.I thought American Oriental was a mix of Turkish and Egyptian belly dance/American Jazz
With costuming and music also influenced by Northern Africa.ATS/ITS was a mix of American Oriental and Flamenco and Northern Indian?
So isn't ATS/ITS already world fusion?
Is it only Tribal Fusion after you add in the hip-hop and industrial?
