Bellydance Beginnings.
Mahalia found bellydance at the Renaissance faire 7 years ago and fell instantly
in love immediately seeking out her first lessons in this art form. Finding
that there were no teachers in her area offering the style she fell in
love with she studied with local teachers offering different types of
bellydance and traveled extensively to attend workshops and study with
master teachers to learn the various forms of tribal style.
The fostering of Knowledge.
Knowing there must be other local dancers having to travel to learn this
unique tribal style she made a commitment to bring master teachers to
Southern California to teach other dancers that also wanted to learn
and didn't have a place to go. So began the longest running all tribal
style event in Southern California, Gettin Hip With Tribal which has
been going strong for four years now and happens the last weekend in
January every year.
