We are a diverse group of women—all sizes, shapes and ages from different walks of life—who love to belly dance for the sheer fun and joy of it! Instructor Barbara Abernathy studied with Gypsy Caravan in Portland, Oregon for 6 years before moving to Nashville and starting Tribal Sisters in 2010.

We do the original "lead and follow" style of belly dance known as American Tribal Style (ATS), Tribal Improv or True Tribal. It's a distinctly American style of belly dance, a melting pot of moves inspired by the ethnic dances of many cultures, from the Middle East to North Africa, India and the Flamenco dance of Spain.
