What is group improvisation and what does that mean to me?
Group improv is a style of tribal belly dance that is not choreographed, but is made up on the spot by the dancers. This is done by everyone learning to do the steps in a particular way. One dancer at a time takes the lead position and begins to dance. She will then cue the other dancers when she is going to change steps and they will know by the cue what step she is changing to. The dancers take turns leading and following. One of the most fulfilling things of learning and participating in tribal improv is the sense of joy, ownership, and accomplishment you feel in connecting with the music and your fellow dancers while creating a captivating work of visual art.
