As the years have progressed, Tamarind has continued to develop our own unique, improv-based repertoire of movements, group formations, and prop work. Deeply rooted in FatChance BellyDance Style®, Tamarind Troupe Transformations® (TTT®) draws upon those roots in addition to Zoe Jakes' DanceCraft® format, Rachel Brice 8 Elements®, and other sources to create our own tribal belly dance format.

 

A modern fusion of traditional folkloric dances and other contemporary dance formats, the TTT® format is well suited to improv or choreography in groups or as a soloist with movements and group work/solo presentation or as stand-alone concepts.

 

Launched in 2018, a complete teacher intensive with certification in the TTT® format was made available for those looking to immerse themselves. Join the growing ranks of those certified in the Tamarind Format. I sincerely hope you will consider joining me!

 

Tamarind is among a small, honored group to have a sampling of our moves incorporated into the FatChance BellyDance Style® belly dance format, and we are grateful to its creator, Carolena Nericcio-Bohlman.

As part of DVD Volume 9, "Anatomy of a Step"®, Super Beth has recorded several lessons that are available on FCBDU®. If you are seeking a deeper understanding of the FatChance BellyDance Style® format or instruction on the Tamarind concepts from DVD Volume 9®, please visit FCBU®.
