“What is it all about?”

The mission of TribOriginal is to nurture every aspect of the international, continuously evolving Tribal Bellydance culture, & our close community.

TribO aspires to offer something for everyone: the bellydancers & musicians, burgeoning circus & sideshow types, mates & spouses, children & teens, morning people & late-nighters, meat-eaters & vegetarians, camping-types & city folks.

“What is included?”

Well, unlike most weekend dance events, we have your food and lodging needs rolled into the cost. Once you arrive, you don’t need to spend anything on travel or lodging.

This means that TribOriginal is comparably affordable. Staying put also makes this event gentle on both the environment and on your travel nerves.

TribO also offers options for children and partners, allowing families to train & vacation together in a low-stress atmosphere of natural beauty.
