Frequently
Asked Questions
"What
is TribOriginal?"
The mission of TribO is to create a 'Tribal culture
weekend' to satisfy every aspect of the international,
continuously developing community that has surrounded
Tribal Bellydance over the years. With this vision
in mind, we proudly offer something for everyone in
a rejuvenating, lush setting. We provide classes in
dance, music, gypsy arts, business, circus arts and
professional costuming, hair & makeup. We also
have
an extensive children's program with scholarship offering.
"What is included in the cost?"
At TribO, we want you to have the luxury of not worrying
about your needs being met for the whole weekend.
Registration pays for your lodging, all meals, and
entertainment, as well as ALL classes if you have
opted for the Full Access Package. Childrens Registration
provides for over 20 hours of quality childcare, as
well as their lodging and meals.
Other
benefits of TribO include the shopping, hookah lounge,
free coffee (back by popular demand!) and helpful,
accessable staff. With a family friendly atmosphere
and a vivacious night life, TribO is an incredible,
all-inclusive Tribal retreat. Many other events do
not include lodging, food or other considerations,
such as childcare.
By
rolling all this into the overall price, we are able
to deliver a fabulous weekend to you at a great price
and a priceless convenience.
What if I want to bring my tent?
You are welcome to tent- or Vardo-camp onsite; we
will have a specific location for tent campers (please
inquire at registration). However, we are charged
by the site the same amount of money for you whether
you chose to bring a tent or use one of the cabins
that are onsite. Additionally, your site fee helps
to cover the use of facilities and other costs associated
with the event, such as administrative, liability,
supplies and staff costs.
How can I help?
The vision of Triboriginal: Tribal Dance, Music &
Culture Camp in the long-term is to continuously evolve,
and be an event that the Tribal community wants to
come to again and again. We love and encourage feedback.
We
can always use a variety of skills in our work-study
program. We are committed to make this great event
available to everyone, and so we offer the Work Study
option to folks willing to help make the event happen.
We also appreciate assistance for the love of the
community spirit. If you have suggestions or want
to help, please contact Torva at Triboriginal@yahoo.com
