Tribal Fusion Belly Dance is a modern form of belly dance which has evolved from American Tribal Style belly dancing, blending elements of ATS with any other style of dance. It frequently incorporates elements from Popping, Hip Hop, Breakdance, 'Egyptian' or 'Cabaret' belly dance, as well as from traditional forms such as Flamenco, Kathak, Bhangra, Balinese, and other folkloric dance styles. The roots of tribal fusion lie in American Tribal Style created in San Francisco by Carolena Nerriccio and her dance company FatChance Bellydance. One of the founding members of FCBD, Jill Parker, can be regarded as being the first to create a form of tribal fusion. After leaving FCBD, she formed Ultra Gypsy Dance Theatre in 1996. Under Jill Parker's direction, UG expanded on the ATS movement repertoire, using choreographed routines in place of ATS's improvised dances, and incorporating elements of burlesque, cabaret, and 1920's dance. The group also progressively deconstructed the classic ATS costume (choli, coin bra, turban, tassel belt, skirt, pantaloons).
