Cardio Tribal Belly Dance 

Cardio-Tribal Belly Dance combines energizing ethnic dance moves, classic belly dance isolations, low impact snaky arms and shaky hips with structured repetitive movements in a workout format. Cardio Tribal Style (CTS) builds on the synchronized improvisation that is typical of American Tribal Style (ATS) belly dance, but with fun ethnic dance combinations fusing belly dance with indian, african, latin, polynesian and modern moves and music. You'll have fun, learn belly dance combinations, and get a good workout.  Come ready to sweat!

Robin also teaches Zumba Gold - a low-impact version of Zumba that uses belly and ethnic dance moves to world music.

Robin moved to the Palm Springs area of southern California and is a founding member of the Desert Belly Dance Collective, a non-profit organization in Palm Desert.  She is leading sessions with the Cardio Tribal Team (CTT).  Our mission is support the creative collaboration of members with all funds over expenses going to benefit Refuge from the Storm - a women's shelter in the Coachella Valley.  All activities at the collective are for members.  If you are interested in visiting, please go to www.desertbellydancecollective.org for more information.
