Student Troupe

Over the years Nawal has built a good name for quality entertainment and instruction.She and her core student troupe are asked to perform at many local events (summer is our busy season) . She has helped to encourage some of her own students to become captivating dancers and crowd favorites. This year we have had  a lot of interest in students joining our performance troupe. If this is something you are interested in, here is the deal:

Our Troupe is versatile- we perform Classic Bellydance , American Tribal Style, and Salimpour Repertoire Ensemble… so we have a few dance style options for you to sharpen your performance chops.

***a note about jewelry: not all jewelry is appropriate for the vibe Maritime Tribal is cultivating- if you are unsure, just ask- but as a general rule NO bling-y, chrome-y,  cheap-y stuff.

** Current Members will be under review this fall- all current members must submit Raqs El Sagat Audition video by End of September to be considered for future public performance  and be working toward achieving Salimpour Level 1 Certification in the next 2 years 2017-2019 . Not Applicable for ATS **

STUDENT TROUPE

**All ‘Student Troupe’ performances are presented as just that “student performance”. This is to create a clear expectation to the public that they are viewing students and not professionals- most student gigs are at other bellydance events or FREE public events- ***
