The revolutionary 'Tribal Fusion' style of bellydance interweaves strains of traditional, multicultural bellydance movements with contemporary/modern American dance movements to create an entirely unique form of bellydancing. The home video release Evolution: Tribal Fusion Bellydance Performances illustrates and carries the at-home audience into this style with eleven on-camera tribal fusion dances. The program includes: Kaml Liddle performing the tribal fusion dance 'Shisha Room'; The Urban Tribal Dance Company, performing Saptak, a tribal fusion duet; Zoe Jakes performing Mazamir Holiday, a tribal fusion that draws heavily from Egyptian folklore; Ava Fleming performing 'Darkness Falls,' a tribal fusion sword dance; Domba-Bascha performing a tribal fusion troupe performance; Karls performing 'Shake Time,' a tribal fusion hoop performance, along with a drum solo; Elizabeth Strong performing the 'Serpentine,' a tribal fusion sword dance; Devidasi, performing 'Asian Majik,' an Asian tribal fusion dance; Meleah performing 'Awaken the Goddess,' an Afro-tribal fusion dance; Aubre performing 'Enchanted Garden,' a traditional tribal fusion dance; and, for the sizzling final number, Urban Gypsy performing 'Cirque de Flame,' a tribal fusion fire dance.
