a contemporary approach to bellydance from the inside out: growing skill with freedom

Say yes.

Join us in the Tribe:

you can come as you are.

The Tribe is a place where you can learn in your own way and grow at your own pace, in the subtle layered language of Middle Eastern dance.

The Oyna Tribe holds space for deep focus where wild and wonderful things can happen, for anyone at any level, and you can cultivate your dance skills while blossoming into your own true expression.

The Oyna Tribe is dedicated to the practice of improvisational layered dance as a process for spiritual evolution, both within and beyond Middle Eastern traditions.

In the Oyna Tribe,  you can

Expand your expression - with classic raqs sharqi technique

Discover your strength through honesty in the moment - with interactive dancing

Feel your freedom - in spacious moments of private and interactive improvisations

Learn deeply & move easily - guided by a master teacher

Shine brighter being more yourself

There were no wall mirrors in our school. Isadora taught us to close our eyes and listen to the music with our souls. Then we were to dance in accordance with this music heard inwardly and, while listening, feel an inner self awakening deep within us. - from Duncan Dancer, by Irma Duncan
