Tribal in the Tropics 2025:
Reflecting on what was a most marvellous weekend despite not feeling 100% for the occasion.
Even though I felt I was in a dream haze of flu symptoms I am so glad I got to be there and witness all of the amazing and inspiring performances (what a joy!) and partake in the brilliant workshops with Nina, Deirdre, Aysha, Sienna and Richelle. They were all so engaging and I loved how each one reflected the diversity of our dance and each teacher's individual style.
What a pleasure to finally meet and dance with @curlygirlj Jamie and @hipswithattitudedance Deirdre. I hope we get the opportunity again!
I missed doing any crafting with B this year but we did share a lovely little dance duet together in the workshops.
Thankyou once again Nina for bringing everything and everybody together.
We absolutely love our TT festival and YOU!
Here's to 2026 and also Fremantle and Bendigo too! GC Dance rocks! ♥

🐛Word Up!🐛

We closed our fabulous class last night by drawing a card each.
These cards are always right on, and everyone felt their word was very apt for the moment.
You may have to zoom in to read the cards or just check out the hashtags below!!👓

We now have a little pause in classes as we rehearse (and recover!) from our annual Tribal in the Tropics festival💃

Classes resume from Monday 4th August, which is also the start of my next new beginner course. There are still a couple of spots left if you are ready to get your shimmy on with us.

Hi folks!
I have recently been undergoing some more Global Caravan Tribal Bellydance teacher training and part of the course directs you to review and reflect on your teaching business.
For the past several years I have been without a dedicated website and have been using Facebook and Instagram as my point of contact/promotion for news and classes.
I did have a dance website prior but it didn't seem to generate much interest. But having had my Pilates website up and running for 6+years I am much more familiar with how to set things up more effectively.

So if you are reading this so far, YOU are the right person!
I have just finished my newly birthed, fresh & vibrant website and would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think. Including any typos, broken links or things not aligning properly on mobile etc. - on Android devices things appear as they should but I am unsure about iPhone/Apple devices. If you have the time and one of these please let me know if it looks okay on there.

Oh and if you wanna come dance with me- cos that is what this whole sparkly website is all about- them fill in the lovely online form on the website, send me a DM or accost me in the street!😀

New beginner course starts: 04/08/25
Ongoing beyond beginners- Tues nights at 6pm (from August)

'Piercing The Veil'
...from my solo performance at Tribal Fest in the West 2024 ⚔️💙🔷️

This piece was both an honour and a challenge. A lot of energy went into its creation🌊🔷️
It is so different dancing solo and I knew I wanted to create something unique and special to this haunting piece of music when Richelle invited me to perform at TFW💙
I have only recently started dabbling with double swords so this was very much an 'unveiling' of a new facet in my dance. It was important for me to find flow with these props and make the moves appear seamless (which is where the challenge comes in!) Even though it was essentially a choreographed rather than improvised piece I wanted each move to appear intentional yet fluid -synchronised and present were my goals, along with honouring GC styling!!
The music was the main inspiration for the piece but also our recent workshops with @christinehaviland at Tribal in the Tropics sparked a few ideas🙏⚔️

Special thanks to Alma Sarhan and Rebel Evo for the photos💙💙

Line up, line up
and raise your hands
If you love your tribe
And our circle of dance!❤️

Reflecting on a wonderful five days of dance immersion at the MC and TT24. So great to connect/reconnect with dance sisters near and far and to share in the beauty and inspiration of everyone's GC dance roots, interpretations and evolutions! Let's keep this thing in motion!
Thankyou to Nina for once again putting on a fab weekend and to B and our guest teacher Christine @thelacethistle_ for your special contributions-so inspiring and nurturing❤️
I am especially proud of my Birdwing dance tribe and have just seen some footage of our group dance at the soiree (will share soon!) Thankyou to each of you for showing up, bringing good energy, despite setbacks/illness etc! I see you and I appreciate you and also to all our other dance sisters- big, big love! See you at the next gathering❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel fortunate to know deeply what brings me joy and dance is one of them.
This feeling is captured perfectly in this photo by @almasarhanphotography at Tribal Fest in the West last October. Taken right after I and my three fellow dance sisters had just finished a collaborative Tribal bellydance performance. When you see joy reflected back at you so clearly, there is no mistaking the power and beauty of a shared passion ♥

What brings you joy?
What in your life makes your heart sing and your soul yearn for more?
Not too sure?
Here are four questions to help reconnect with joy in your life:

1. What do you love? In 5 minutes quickly list all the things that come to mind without censoring or overthinking!

2.What did you do for fun as a child? Remember what brought you joy then.

3. What are you curious about? What have you always wanted to try, learn, know more about?

4. What would your 'Dream Day' consist of?
Be as detailed, imaginative and bold as you like! Really immerse yourself in this.

Spending some time investigating how or what brings (or could bring) us joy reminds us of what we need to feel rejuvenated so we can bring our best into the world.
And if you are feeling the call for a joy filled taste of Tribal Bellydance, come and join one of my classes - you won't regret it☺
Wishing everyone a joyful weekend!

There's a world far away from the one we see
There's a dream I will never let go
One thing is certainly true
This moment's for me and for you
So while there's not a thing that we can do

Let's dance
Let's dance

The Global Caravan tribal bellydance style is both structured and improvised, using a defined set of moves and steps that can be put together in a myriad of ways.
The lead and follow roles are interchangeable, all done within various formations and patterns.
These steps and formations are continuously evolving creating a dance style that is defined dynamic, and fluid♥

What a wonderful workshop today!
Finding flow by playing with different ways of creating intention/emotion/dynamics within the Global Caravan Tribal Bellydance format.
Especially poignant on the weekend of International Women's Day were the themes of empowerment, femininity, grace and strength we collectively chose to explore❤️
Thank you to all dancers ...you each made the event so special and I look forward to creating more dance magic again soon.
Stay tuned for the next one!

Strike a pose...
A throwback to 2018 (I think!) when some of Birdwing Tribal enjoyed a photo shoot with Kuranda Photography.
I love how each of us has a different pose and look yet our styling and adornments bring a cohesive vibe to the photo. Just like our GC dance style, which offers room for individual creative expression within the strength and unity of a structured 'tribal' format♥

Exciting news movers and shakers!!!
I am running another Tribal Bellydance workshop where you can join me for two hours of delicious dance!

In this workshop we will focus on using foundation steps to create some longer combos and play around to find flow and ease in our movements. We’ll also look at how to change the look and feel of dance steps by using different music and styling to complement then.
We will also explore different formations, such as a rotating circle, duet/triplets & open chorus and how we can lead and/or follow within these.
Finishing off with some sensual, swishy skirt movements using our beautiful, full and feminine tribal skirts (available to lend if you don’t own one) Discover how this gorgeous dance prop adds another layer to your dance.
What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning…😉

This workshop is aimed at beginners and beyond and some understanding and experience of Tribal Bellydance is ideal, however complete beginners are most welcome to attend. And for those who are more experienced, additional challenge will be offered!

Date: Sun March 10th
Time: 10am to Midday
Cost: $40 pp

Where: COUCH Wellness Centre, 100 Reservoir Rd, Cairns
(The venue is airconditioned- further details on accessing the venue will be given upon booking)

What to wear/bring: dress in cool, comfortable clothing for movement. We usually dance barefoot but wear soft soled/flat dance shoes for support if necessary If you have a tribal skirt please bring along. Bring a water bottle and a smile!
(light refreshments afterwards- stay for a cuppa and a chat💛)

BOOKINGS: To reserve your place please visit www.carolineclosepilates.com.au/book-online or see link in bio/story.
If you have any questions please contact Caroline on 0437799246

I love this photo of my dancer Libby taken at Tribal in the Tropics 2023.. Pure joy radiates out from the image to me. Can you feel the emotion captured in this moment too?
Interestingly enough we were dancing a variation of the Indian Spiral turn and for want of a better name I had been referring to it as 'Joy'- (now called 'Vesna' but that's another post!)

Beautiful dancers at this morning's workshop where we explored adding baskets to the Global Caravan repertoire
Such a wonderful way to enhance the intention, emotion, symbolism, or shape of a move. I really love how dancing in a group with this prop feels...❤️
A lovely mix of beginner to intermediate level dancers today with one participant having only taken one GC class so far, another sporting a moonboot and another dancing despite a migraine!
Was hoping to get some footage but was that engrossed I forgot, so just a few pics at the end. We closed the circle to this piece of music which was quite magical🦋
Thanks ladies for embracing the moves, combos and formations today. You are all fabulous and it is a treat to be able to offer these workshops.
Stay tuned for the next one💃

Dare to be BOLD
Dare to try the things you have been yearning for
Don't worry about being ready, we never are
Find your brightest colours
And let them bring bravery to your heart
Put your BOLD feet forward
And step into YOUR dream
Whatever that may be! -CC🦋
