Complex drills and technique-building will be used to create a deep and broad dance vocabulary, improve technique, expand proficiency, and stimulate creativity.
The Advanced/Professional Track is open to dancers with a thorough understanding of the foundations of bellydance, the ability to execute the foundations of bellydance and combine them, and a willingness to actively participate with the group. An understanding of spoken English is extremely helpful and is preferred, and you must be able to dance at least 8+ hours per day for 8 days.
The Tribal Massive™ Professional level training course dives more deeply into the concepts of the Advanced/Pro Track, along with additional emphasis on performance quality and developing a professional image. Complex drills will be used to refine a deep and broad dance vocabulary and perfect technique.
The Professional Track is open to dancers with a developed dance background, experienced performers, paid professional dancers or teachers, and highly advanced students who desire to become professionals. You must have a willingness to explore artistic interpretations, grow as a dancer, and push your boundaries as an artist. The students are expected to be critiqued openly in class, to do ‘homework’ assignments in addition to attending 100% of all classes and giving 100% of themselves to the group experience. An understanding of spoken English is required, and you must be able to dance at least 8+ hours per day for 8 days.
NOTE: The students from this track will be hand selected by our dance professors. Please register for the Advanced/Pro track, and email us at info@thetribalmassive.com with your desire to be selected for the Professional Track.

I have never felt so welcomed, so open and so fed. The ladies I had the honor of sharing the pro-track with were nothing short of amazing. Big thanks to our teachers and mentors for providing a safe place to learn and grow as dancers and as human beings. The inspiration they provided both on and off the stage is something I’ll carry with me forever. And finally, THANK YOU to Tori Halfon and Yaniv Halfon because without you, there would be no Massive. You truly are providing means to help push this art form forward and bring dancers together in ways that would never be possible elsewhere. I love you all and am eagerly awaiting the sign up for next year’s MASSIVE!
