@zeki1919 This is a style called "American Tribal Style" which is a combination of traditional bellydance with Flamenco and Indian dance. We do not claim it is traditional arabic bellydance.

@zeki1919 That's kind of funny... "Zeki." Between Sarcasmhime and myself, there is probably about 16 years of Arabic bellydance experience and training, so I'd say we know plenty about "araby belly dance" and are learning more all the time. While ATS may not be what you know as bellydance, we have many Arabic fans, judging from the reaction we get at our shows. Good thing your manners don't reflect the wonderful Egyptians, Lebanese, Persians, Turks and Syrians for whom we've danced.
