Danielle of Solstice Ensemble: Tribal Fest Performance
East Coast Tribal is a movement discipline, a dance-style, and a
perspective: grounded in Bellydance, with influences of Hip hop, Modern
Dance, and Martial Arts. Showcased in the 2006 release of the
instructional Bellydance DVD, East Coast Tribal, produced by World Dance
New York, this dance style is given it's name through performances by
Solstice Dance Ensemble, led by director Sera Solstice, and the
instruction offered at Solstice Studio in New York City. Musical
collaborations are a distinctive element of East Coast Tribal, with
artists of Sub Swara, Freek Factory, Kode 9, and Chronomad. East Coast
Tribal performances are fully choreographed, and are approached as a
language form. Dancers are asked to continuously search for new ways to
reflect their world, both outside and inside, through highly
choreographed performance. Movements are typically bold, aggressive,
expansive, contrasting with pop'n lock elements.
