WildCard BellyDance Is...

A professional troupe of Tribal Style belly dancers, teaching and performing in Sonoma County, California and around the world. WildCard BellyDance teaches their own format of Improvisational Tribal Style (ITS) belly dance, which is a modern fusion of traditional dances from cultures along the Silk Road; the Romani trail from from Spain through North Africa, the Middle East, Persia, India and beyond.

Our Tribal Style Belly Dance Format...

Over the past 12 years, WildCard BellyDance has developed their own unique repertoire of movements along with visual and verbal cues to achieve graceful synchronicity within the group.
