Paulette Rees-Denis is the Director of the Gypsy Caravan Dance Company—Portland, Oregon's acclaimed contemporary tribal bellydance troupe. Having found her soul dance in the Tribal Style of bellydance, she has been teaching weekly classes in Portland, and workshops internationally since 1991. Her tribal styling is a fusion of several influences based on dances from different countries and modern day—urban, folk, ritual and trance, modern, among others. With a classical dance background, Paulette has created a rich blend of contemporary dance which is esthetically pleasing, spiritually grounding and physically rewarding. This dance evokes a feeling of ancient times, of family, of personal freedom, of group spirit and camaraderie, bringing dancers together in total acceptance and support of each other. The beauty of the dance is that it's also different for everyone and every body.
With Master's Degree in Writing and Publishing, she created a new publishing house, called Cultivator Media Group. In 2008 she published her own book, part memoir, part experiential —Tribal Vision: A Celebration of Life Through Tribal Belly Dance, to rave reviews. In 2005, she reformatted her paper dance 'zine to a monthly enewsletter with well over 1400 subscribers internationally. With a new blog and more social networking every day, she is able to fulfill her dream of taking Tribal Bellydance Global!
