Taking Tribal Global!
Caravan Trails is an exciting monthly or so enewsletter from Paulette, about her Tribal Travels, journeys and teachings around the world, including photos, performance and workshop information, and the D-Quad writings, a writing forum for other dancers' to participate and share their dance experiences. D-Quad, Delicious Divas Dancing Dreams, or Dancing Divas Delicious Dreams, or however you want to word it, it is wonderful to read other's stories and dreams!
About the Caravan Trails enewsletter:
Hilary wrote back, "thank you for your kind words... and I loved
reading what you wrote. Beautifully honest."
Nancy writes:
"Thank you Paulette for your heartful words. Many of the things you wrote are things I too think about, and I'm sure lots and lots of other dancers face too. It's hard to not let experiences change our focus. I found inspiration in your words "be true to yourself - what do you really want, what do you really desire, what is attainable given who you are?" Thanks!"
Leann says:
"Thank you.
More so than ever this newsletter rang true and resonated with a tumultuous tribal learning experience over the last 10 years. Thank you for your candor, open spirit and courage in putting your feelings out there in the most positive light possible. Through the newsletter you also helped me understand the dance from a teacher's perspective. This helped me to trust the information coming to me from my teacher. Right now while I learn to love this dance goddess that is emerging from within, there need to be boundaries and the friendship needs to stay out of the studio till my body knows the vocabulary of the dance.
I'm not a writer, in fact I've picked up music, clarinet and all sorts of world drums as a result of my journey into Tribal dance."

Over the past year, many dancers have written in to my monthly enewsletter, Caravan Trails/Tribal Travels, to share their dance experiences and visions with me and our readers. It has been so exciting and rewarding to reprint these words, poems, artwork, and stories and put them into one beautiful anthology, our first one, for you to treasure, reread, be inspired by, and honor our experiences in dance, and life.
Here are just a few wonderful excerpts from the Anthology:
from the poem, Essence, by Luluna...
Head sways, hand swoops, hip swerves,
skirts swirl,
Bellies ripple, bodies whirl.
from Hilary Giovale...
Tribal Style was here in front of my eyes – the passion and deep beauty that women are capable of when they come together in a common creative endeavor. I suddenly understood it as the synergy that occurs when women move in unison, when they unite in a visual representation of heartfelt self-expression.
from Lynea Gillen...
I realize it’s the same thing I feel in circles of tribal dance. It’s the healing quality, and the community support that has been the most important aspect of the dance.
from Myla Stauber...
Women moving in their own perfect space, barefoot on the pavement, owning the pavement, and time slows, nearly stops, in their ticking moments of vulnerability and strength melding in movement and exposure.
And we have included photos and bios of the writers who have so graciously contributed to this gathering of dancer's dreams!
What is excitingly different, is that this anthology is available to you in PDF format, for you to read and keep on your computer, or to print if you desire the paper version. This is my way to experiment with technology to be a paper-saving, cost-efficient way of sending you this art booklet.
Only $6.00
