| Romani Urban Tribal Belly Dance was a professional Oakland-based belly dance troupe that pioneered and popularized the underground electronic Middle-Eastern / Indian flavored music ( Asian Underground ) used by most tribal / fusion belly dancers today. Their urban style and artistic sensibility resulted in a unique blend of the dances and costuming of the Middle East, North Africa, India, and Spain. Romani's cutting-edge choreography, music, and costuming continues to inspire the worldwide belly dance community today. |
