Ali | Tribal Fusion Choreography | Streaming version of the original DVD
A high energy tribal fusion choreography that fuses Belly Dance with Bollywood, West African, and Skirt movement
A fast-paced upbeat number that combines movements from Bhangra, West African, Spanish and Tribal Fusion dance, Ali is sure to get your heart thumping and your audience clapping along!
This high-energy choreography is broken down into 14 separate combinations. Each one is demonstrated, then taught slowly with attention given to technical isolations. They are repeated with counts and then with music and small groups of combinations are reviewed together to build the complete choreography. The course also includes a special section on improvisational Spanish skirt combinations, breaking down both the movements and the cueing and transitioning process. These movements are reviewed and drilled in an improvisational format for the hardcore improv fans out there.
Over two hours of instruction in all!
The course ends with a special troupe performance of Ali by members of Urban Gypsy.

I'm Sahira. I started out as an environmental engineer before belly dance took over my life — and I've never looked back. I've been teaching since 2001, in Houston, online, and at festivals across more than a dozen countries. Zills are not a side topic for me. They are my obsession. I've spent over 20 years figuring out exactly why they feel hard, and exactly how to make them click. ZillStar is the starting point I wish I'd had.
