Hello! I’m friends with Saly Duluc, one of the few tribal dancers in the Dominican Republic. She tells me that the community is gaining momentum more and more each day, and I think the festival itself will bring more tribal techniques, and more belly dance styles in general, to the burgeoning community. Exciting!

Thank you for this excellent article. Last year Susu Pampanin and I were flown in to perform for a private party at one of the resorts in the D.R. Since then I have been interested in their belly dance community. It looks mostly Egyptian cabaret style…is there any tribal there yet?

Wow! Great to know there are no fat or old bellydancers in the Domincan Republic. That would be horrible!
