Melanie Wood
Melanie Wood has been studying Middle Eastern dance since 1997. During her first year of dance she was given a tape of Fat Chance Belly Dance, and immediately fell in love with the mix of ethnic dance styles and costuming pieces. She first began performing at the NJ Renaissance Festival where she had the opportunity to do traditional choreographed pieces as well as tribal improv. Pennsic, an SCA event, was also an outlet to learn a variety of Middle Eastern, West African, and Indian dance techniques, which is now fused into what has become her tribal style. Melanie's dance style is forever evolving, integrating new and interesting forms and dynamic moves. She looks forward to her future in dance, learning more and experiencing new things through this ever-changing art form.www.kassartribal.com
