Collective Soul Level Three has begun…
We are onto day two of our three day CS3 tribal dance intensive certification program! Hilary from Arizona and Amanda from Wisconsin are in town, and we are joined by my own dancers, Carol and Karen. A hard-dancing bunch for sure….
We started yesterday with brunch on my farm, with a lively discussion about tribal and the evoution. I am noticing more and more that there is a segregation happening in the tribal dance world, people are taking sides, or teams, or something. Isn't' the idea of...

Delicious Divas Dancing Dreams–A Tribal Dancers Anthology 2008-2009
It's almost here…Our 1st yearly D-Quad Anthology. With the sometimes simple, often eloquent, heart and soul searching thoughts, stories, and poems submitted to me over the past year, how could I not compile them into one dancer's anthology? And make a lovely little handbook (of sorts) for you, to inspire your dancing journeys for the next year. Since part of my mission is to get dancers to write more, and to write about their dancing stories, this online format is the chosen way to get it to ...

a poem I read in England and D-Quad for December
One of the days that Louisa took me around the cute little town of Lewes, near Brighton, we went into a fabulous bookstore…danger, danger, I"m thinking of my luggage and the return flight home!
I could have bought several books, they were so unique and beautiful and different than many bookstores in the US, and and… but I contained myself, grabbing the new Tiniwaren CD, while leafing through many pages. I opened a poetry book by Peter Abbs, The Flowering of Flint, and the first page I turned t...

Our October Tribal Vision Book Giveaway….the winner
for our October Tribal Vision Book Giveaway….
the winner is…..
Vikki Tracy!
Here is what she wrote, in answer to my request to write about something that you learned as an artist and dance in the month of September!
During September, I haven't danced even though I have been belly dancing for over 10 years. I have taken a break to find myself, to find nature and to find my dance self again. A 74 yr. old dancer by the name of Marguerite once gave me the advice to find your flexibility! When this...

Tribal Travels in England, and Collective Soul Level One
Friday, a day to rest, a day to reflect, and basically, a day off! We finished up Collective Soul Level Two Certification yesterday with five tired but elated dancers in Lewes, England, near the southern sea shore. What a fantastic journey it was for all of us.
But let me go back to last week, first arriving in England and being swept away to the sweet little town of Aylesbury, about an hour north of London, where I have taught on several occasions over the past nine years. Starting with a...
