- Tribal belly dance is not Hollywood – they are fully clothed, lots of coins, full length skirts.
- Their step work does come from India and Gypsy tribes
- Here in FL they are fully covered and they look like feminine desert nomads
- The universe worked in mysterious ways with Jayne, a local lady offered classes and she fell in love with tribal belly dance
- She took classes, started teaching it, she had a 9-5 job but did not like it much, so because she was unhappy she got fired. She opened a studio and started hosting different dance forms and it just grew and grew.
