[@tlauridsen3]

Omg I could watch this forever!

[@mikafruit42]

I must've watched this about 500 times since it's been posted...totally blown away and inspired. I've been dancing for over a year, and this just pushes me to dance for an eternity. THANK YOU.

[@Claudetite]

I love how all dancers have such diverse bodytypes and they all look so beautiful Ahh, I really miss dancing!

[@molarmama32]

Tell me about it! I have damaged my knees due to belly dance! There is not any cartilage left----OUCH!

[@annesfavourites1037]

molarmama32 possibly due to dancing, but damage to knees more likely done through the weight training you admit to doing.

[@molarmama32]

Anne's favourites OOPS!!!

[@gotehorn]

Rachel's tribe is fabulous.The variety and precision make this theatrical blend a new pleasure.

[@imaginecreatebe]

This never fails to blow my mind. I can't remember how many times I've watched this and nearly been moved to tears. The choreography is so inspiring, and the musicality blows me away. THANK YOU for creating this RB!!

[@OfficialRachelBrice]

Jonathan, THANK YOU so much for your post! So happy you like it and that this new work is still inspiring you, posts like yours inspire me to keep working too, so let's keep inspiring each other!

[@Keke60604]

Wow. After a baby and some health setbacks, I've almost given up on dance. Watching this makes me want to go back and go all out! The precision, the skill, wow....I loved this. This is truly poetry in motion....

[@רבקהאברמוב-ס1ר]

I'm speechless...It is so beautiful, original and joyful....I am touched deep inside. Thank you, Rachel!

[@HappyVanillaAngel]

One of the best performances Ive seen, I loved every moment of it. Everything flowed so well, the costumes were amazing, you are all so talented. Beautiful job ladies, keep up the awesome work, I always look forward to seeing new performances! Stunning job as usual Rachel, loved it!

[@LtCmdrSparkle]

The trio performance just rocked my world...so amazing!

[@buddycal1]

Rachel, you, Zoe and Mardi are the reason I dance today. Any talent I have, I owe to you three. This video encompasses the epitome of everything about your style that drew me to learn tribal fusion, and you've given me the motivation to keep trying. In other words, THIS IS F***ING AWESOME. Musicality=mind BLOWN

[@tinkabell39]

Ok I got them goose pimples...wow what a combo and choice of music...enthralled..Hey Rachel.. I have signed for your online Tutorials ..am lovin it..

[@nevroth]

Absolutely beautiful! Everything I love about this style is right here- gorgeous women with even more stunning costumes, and the elegant strength and grace to dance so wholesomely. I loved the opening and trio pieces; the trio in particular looked like goddesses or the three fates!

[@dagezk]

I could watch this over and over and over and over and over again. Sigh...

[@Arure]

Thanks to all the Dancers for their beautiful performances & much respect ! :)

[@Annora2024]

I cannot think of anything not to love here.. The music, the costumes, the choreography, the love, the sisterhood ... It's a treat. It's been a while since I've experienced this 'total experience', I was in tears and smiling at the same time.. Ashley's group piece and Rachel's solo were amazing. so powerful, it's everything that's good about belly dance wrapped up together :)

[@JessJArt]

Each time I watch this I am stunned at the incredible artistry and exquisite dancing. Glorious costuming and phenomenal choreography. Rachel, you are such an inspiration to me. I dream of being a part of a group of dancers like this one day, to be as accomplished and studied in the art form that would allow me the ability to dance like this. For now, I dance on my own, in my little living room and dream. Love you Rachel! Your dancing is beyond description.

[@TheOnlyMissAbbey]

I *just* started Tribal, level one, and holy wow - this was amazing! Glide and Mechanic Puppet blew my mind! I hope to someday be that graceful!!

[@rumannieflint]

This is one of the most amazing group of belly dances I've ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Pslm91v14n15]

Rachel is like silk. Smooth and refined movements that I find most impressive.

[@annesfavourites1037]

fantastic to see this whole performance through. well done all.

[@AmalgamationMusic]

pure loveliness....I get this feeling of Metropolis - esque vintage vibe, elegance, and anjoy the interesting choreography that retains that fine art of bellydance. definitely feeling it all ~

[@molarmama32]

Beautiful, earthy, having ethereal moments. Excellent WORK!

[@maynarj68]

Wonderful! A very talented group of ladies. Wonderful entertainers as well.

[@RayneSaltair]

Each one of these ladies is beautiful, unique, and talented. Thank you so much for sharing yourselves with us. Thanks for posting this Rachel.

[@_kmCarter]

Rachel, this set is so incredibly polished and professionally performed. Thank you for keeping such an amazing standard. You can tell how much pride each and every dancer puts into her performance. Delicious! Keep it up! :)

[@ElleLarissa]

I keep thinking of Russian Nesting dolls when I watch the second performance! It is one of the most unique things i have ever seen in my life! you inspire me much Rachel! Love you!!!

[@suzielynne82]

You were awesome Morgan!!! I miss dancing with you out here!!!

[@gigimc]

[@Aluess1]

[@tatikandy]

Excellet show you can have a show in Las Vegas, beutiful performance!!! Gettings from Guatemala.

[@KimPamLovesKpop]

So beautiful in many ways! The way you all look like one while dancing, but u can still see what makes all of you unique. Incredible what you do, my favorite form of art. I hope I could get the chance to be part of the audience in one of your performances. You are just fantastic!

[@arienna1]

so awesome!!!! wish you was in southern Indiana!!!!! Would so love to learn!!!

[@myrawtransformation]

Who in God's name would give thus a thumbs down? This is mesmerizing and brilliant beyond words.

[@libragemleo]

maybe it's because of the audience noises...

[@TheHappynstuff]

libragemleo was still great. I just can't get over the costumes and choreography. They probably couldn't help the hooting and hollering, seeing it live must have been electrifying....

[@myrawtransformation]

libragemleo "The audience noises" are what we do in this scene. It's meant as approval and encouragement -- the highest compliment.

[@ultramewmewfan]

myrawtransformation It's the same in North west Morris Dancing. We even include in the dance itself when appropriate.

[@barbpalmer6974]

amazing talent by all these ladies.........much love & respect out to you all

[@JessJArt]

I love you all! One day I will dance at Tribal fest. It is a dream of mine. Such incredible talent and beauty. I am awed.

Love Love Love you ladies !!! I hopethat you have a workshop inCharlotte NC soon. If so count me in !!!!!!!

[@molarmama32]

Dearest Rachel: GOD Bless your hips as my teacher, costume designer, dear Ms. Penny Lobello would say. She did the costumes for Serena Wilson and other greats. I love what you have done for the dance. I have been dancing since '79. If I am NOT perfect I will not disgrace my audience, despite what Copeland has said! Bless, Datura and keep up the work! You are wonderful!

[@TerraJane]

Adore This Beautiful Set! Especially Solo:) ❤ ❤ ❤

[@Maleja1802]

I love you so much Rachel... I love your style, everything in you... you are my teacher today... i love you

[@Rookvaleriannocturne]

My gawd, I'm so inspired by you and your dance, Ms. Brice! I started taking up belly dance when I saw some of your work in a mix on YT. I love the way you move, very snake-like and precise, and will definitely keep on dancing! I look forward to (hopefully) getting a chance to meet you. Thank you for being the dancer you are!

[@nadiapetean4045]

[@allipoisonbabe]

Oh Rachel.... words fail me. Your dance fills my heart - it's elevating! Please please consider one day in one happy not too distant future to allow me to bring your Beautiful Self to Bali, if the Island of the Gods is in any way enticing... I am a friend of Colleena and Sedona :) Thank you - Love - Jai Ma!

[@waoucam]

Wow! this was fabulous, in every way! :)

[@SvetlanaBulash]

You look grate, Rachel. As usual and forever.

[@OfficialRachelBrice]

Hi there! All the music is in the description for your enjoyment!

[@waoucam]

I will never ever get sick of watching this! EVER!

[@bellydanceshows]

Beautiful...

[@StillDollSyndrome]

Wow this is amazing

[@tinkabell39]

A performance close to my heart

[@patsydf]

Particularly loved the second section, not that I didn't think it was all amazing but it was an amazing piece of choreo.

[@bosspaw4028]

Rachel you are truly amazing! Your dancing melts me =)

[@Mirmir.0]

Laura, that's how dancers encourage eachother. We zagh, yip, and call out to show our gratitude and admiration. We dont do it for the benefit (or bereftment) of the audience. It's part of the culture of the bellydance community. As long as there's a dancer on stage and one in the audience, there's going to be noise. It's how we roll. It's our way of saying "fuck yes!". If you got on stage, you'd get how exhilarating it is to have fellow dancers that you've never met encouraging and loving on you

[@DannyMahes]

Well, that was excellent.

[@TRIBALAECUADOR]

Hermoso, felicidades y abrazos desde Ecuador.

[@missdoroti]

can't stop watching...

[@tmiah]

Beautiful - Love this stuff.

[@kjerare]

There´s no words to describe so much beauty

[@tranthibaongocable]

WOW!it rocks my world!!!!

[@buddycal1]

Thank you for solidifying your awesomeness. :) I hope to meet you someday. I've met Zoe, and that was already mind-blowing, so I'm not even going to try pretending like I won't geek out when I get to attend one of your workshops, lol. If Zoe remembers me, it'll probably be as "the kid who stood and stared at me for ten seconds without breathing when he recognized me". You will have a similar story to tell, I'm sure, lol.

[@ritaferraz7963]

beautiful

[@15101980]

Awww,pure tribal

[@buddycal1]

Oh! One last thing so that people can find the song : Glide is actually by "Felix's Machines". Took me awhile to find it, but I did. :-)

[@natanecirce]

Amazing!!

[@galadrielfaye5213]

Oh my god I love you even more Rachel for having Prince Charming as your exit music. xo

[@DjBassJones]

There's a black girl in there! and shes Awesome!

[@melopsicodelia]

AMAZING!

[@lampfriggenshade]

You can google red lengha and you'll be able to find something similar to what they're wearing. They usually come with a choli or kameez. The bra is something you could make yourself or purchase from an online retailer. The belt is also something that you'd have to purchase separately. Hope that helps.

[@dancechikaaa]

i dont dance tribal but holy crap that was awesome

[@curiosbee]

Perfection!!

[@planetaverde07]
