Samantha Emanuel and Sarah Chebaro in Brighton

SAMANTHA EMANUEL

True to the original spirit of American Tribal Style, her improvised Tribal Fusion routines combine skills gleaned from her studies with the creators of the genre in the USA. Elegant and classic, strong in carriage. Fusing Victorian costume aesthetics with olde world dance movement strangeness as well as a respectful modern take on Folkloric dances and professional versatility: she started her Tribal Fusion Belly Dance journey in 2005. In Feb 2007 Samantha became the only British member The Bellydance Superstars and continues to tour the world both solo and with the company performing and instructing intensive workshops. Samantha is a committed teacher as well as performer. Her accessible teaching style reflects the fact that she still considers herself to be a beginner student, always hungry for more training and new ideas, always refining basic techniques and fusing new inspirations from mentors both in and out of the belly dance scene.
