Ultra Gypsy

[@desertgypsy]

This is one of the most important pieces of footage of the beggining evolution of Tribal Fusion bellydance, please keep it. ITs very important for the history and the people in this video all went on to make significant contributions to the art.

[@cluelessangel5292]

it's so refreshing to see a tribal group be so perfectly in sync and well prepared...

[@TaiChiDancer]

Yes, the music is wonderful and I believe that this is the only recording. The musicians were playing live. The music is original and was composed, arranged & performed by 3SPELL. Eliot Bates - Oud, Vocals & Def Lila Sklar - Violin & Def Tobias Robertson - Doumbec, Tappan & Def

[@airadlore]

the only recording?! Now I'm sad... I wanted this sound soooo much.

[@Dutchfruitjar]

Many seedlings of TFBD in this video! Love it! Rachel's tattoo isn't even completed!

[@TaiChiDancer]

As it says in the credits at the end: Original music composed, arranged & performed by 3SPELL. Eliot Bates - Oud, Vocals & Def Lila Sklar - Violin & Def Tobias Robertson - Doumbec, Tappan & Def

[@TaiChiDancer]

I'm glad you like the video. It was fun because of the live music and the great dancers but also difficult because I was live switching between 3 cameras. In that studio all the cameras fed into one master so it wasn't possible to edit later. I have another belly dance videos and also another from that session, but this one was the most successful and I'm very selective in what I put on my channel..

[@Artemisa1301]

I'm not crazy by the gypsy fusion, but they're really good, one of the most coordinated troupe I've seen. And it seems that Rachel brights by herself as much as in a group

[@NuclearWintre]

I spotted an early Rachel Brice!

[@AlexBellydance]

Some Jill Parker goodness, right there!! :) Along with what I see as "vintage" Brice because she's not solo-ing! :) Awesome to see - I can't close this window in my browser, I just keep watching it over and over!! :)

[@bibbylika]

this song is sooooooo beautifull! and the choreographe too......sorry,one of this girl is rachel brice?

[@repaulabs]

OOHH GOSH... I LOOOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I've seen it a hundred times, that's wonderful, the coreography, the music, the costumes. Tribal is marvelous.

[@k.s5889]

[@lialammas]

Great work. Beautiful. I love to see all of them with the same costume. Congrats to all of you, just lovely. Dancing is the most beautiful art.

[@dancerbranka]

OMG what performance! And the music in incredible, so gypsy and funky and the same time :) ANd Rachel! I almost didn't recognised her and the first time :)))

[@ScarlettRoyaletheloommuse]

This is a wonderful group of dancers they are so in sync and there are many of them. Very Clean and wonderful for a tribal style.

[@ojuanimelli]

[@Hageulah]

Very beautiful Choreography to a very beautful music, bravo, great ! Happy Hippos girls !

[@shadowlee74]

The transitions were well orchestrated the choreography absolutely stunning Well Done Ladies! Nearly everyone is in tune and in sync with each other could hardly fault you all not that I want too. Very impressed :-)

[@yoginikalratri7408]

Had been searching for this video since long! Thanks a lot for uploading this rare piece. Pure gem❤️

[@tmiah]

I spotted rachel from the strength of her arms and the supa consistant lift in the upper body : ) I gotta keep workin'

[@DuMichAuch8]

absolutely lovely! such fluid and graceful, yet bold movement. c'est bon!

[@hippityhop05]

Beautiful dancing (and music)! I'd like to learn how to dance like that.

[@michaelharvey5138]

Just about perfect I’d say

[@lilgem61490]

thank you.

[@aaleh]

Yees! This video makes me want to dance with them... they're awesome!

[@raemckay]

This is brilliant. Definitely one of my new faves. Thanks!

[@dancerbranka]

Did anyone notised that Jill loses her right zills at the 1:56.... :) when they are turning. From then on she doesn't have then anymore. but what a proffesional attitude - she almost doesn't twich an eye at the happening, she's just dancing on. It took me the third time when I wached the video that at 3:55 i saw that she's without them :))

[@TaiChiDancer]

You're right, mrsmalkav, and thanks for pointing that out. I can't find the original tape right now but I think we did shoot it in 2001.

[@kalimbasem]

me encanta la impro, son geniales!!!! las quiero en la argentina!!!!!

[@MaGaArTe]

Que bello Rachel en sus inicios, mi favorita Bellydancer I Like so much!

[@Titi261982]

beautiful music!!!!!! beautiful dance!!!

[@TaiChiDancer]

Will do. Maybe after the holidays are over.

[@RevChrisBooth]

beautiful! Definitely one of my faves too!

[@lilgem61490]

i am born a gypsy from romania & i was adpoted & would really love to learn how to gypsy belly dance.

[@randomkidwithautsim]

This is not Romani dance at all whatsoever. If you want, we can put you in touch with ethnically Romani dancers who do non-minstrelsy raqs sharqi, kyuchek, and the specific dances of your birth vitsa that share movement vocabulary, and who are professionals in the field. It is a closed way and the only way is social immersion and participation. But this style is not Romaian Roma or Romani dance of any sort, but more like a very well choregraphed minstrel show. Also,there are many Roma who help adopted Roma and would be happy to invite you to weddings and saint's days or church events ( if that is your thing). These happen all over. Please message.

[@TheLampDancer]

I

[@demonwrench13]

gypsy dancing ...very well done,i wish I lived closer to see more of your style and share the history of the gypsy world,,

[@darkmoon8754]

WONDERFULL!!!! AMAZINgg!!!!

[@cristianehilel3101]

I love so much this video :)

[@Lehmann108]

You guys and Umata should get into a dance fight!

[@esdrak]

What kind of style is it? I love it! 😊

[@TinkDifferent]

I recognised rachel by her awesome abs! :D

[@jlovesg]

@DimentiaMorte I think she should be in the center as shes an amazing dancer and so beautiful.

[@BellyJae]

at 1:51 she is right in front of the camera spinning, her tattoo is there, its just not coloured in, so its hard to see. I spotted her out right when the clip started. I know that nose anywhere ;)~

[@ezrasbelly9639]

Baby Brice!!! 😄😄

[@ardentluma]

Well, I kind of have the impression that this song is improv and not for retail sale. The musicians go by the name of 3spell and they do have an album out, but this song is not on it. Their stuff is very incredible, though. Check them out.

[@svitlana_uzkykh]

PERFECT!!!

[@vinniesoares]

AAAahhhh, I want them all in my harem... Rsrsrs.. One of the best videos in youtube!!!

[@SorayaTonsich]

buenísimo!!!

[@sleepymollusk]

That so fucking hilarious! I didnt realize Rachel was in this, but I did acknowledge the dancer as I watched this the first time. Hilarious that it was her. :3 too funny.

[@TaiChiDancer]

If you'd look at "About This Video" to the right of the viewing screen you'd see "Choreographer Jill Parker leads the Ultra Gypsy tribal belly dancing troupe, including Rachel Brice, for "the cutting edge" a visionary cable TV show produced by Jerry B in Berkeley, CA in 2001. Do a search on "Jill Parker Ultra Gypsies" and you'll find a way to contact her.

[@DaisyDebs]

Fantastic dancing ! Also fantastic music ! What is title of music please ? : )

[@TaiChiDancer]

Original music composed, arranged & performed by 3SPELL. Eliot Bates - Oud, Vocals & Def Lila Sklar - Violin & Def Tobias Robertson - Doumbec, Tappan & Def

[@DaisyDebs]

Well , what a great band of musicians they are ! :) Thankyou and have a lovely day .

[@TaiChiDancer]

@dancerbranka No, this was a live mix. 3 camera shoot. Not edited in post.

[@jacmcw]

I see the tattoo, as well as some of the other dancers. They are very light and pixelated, but knowing the shape of it over her hip, I see a blurred greenish design. Some of the others had the same pale blurry green marks on their torsors. I think they were tattoes.

[@sobeidalagrange7129]

Agree!!!

[@AngelaHiperReal]

This is so sweet, I admire Jill Parker, shes great and see! Rachel Brice without tatoos, so cute!!! Great video, Jill Parker and ultra gypsy are amazing!!!

[@MissyC323]

Its not being billed as a "gypsy" dance. Its tribal fusion style bellydancing. The name of the group is Ultra Gypsy.

[@TaiChiDancer]

You're welcome. More to come.

[@ojuanimelli]

how old is this video? how can i download more videos of this group. where they perform ? how much will it cost to contract this group?

[@ojuanimelli]

Thank you, Please tell me how old is this video? where was produced?

[@khali122]

All of you are right. Rachel began with Fat Chance but she tried something new with Jill. Fair, isn´t it?

[@TaiChiDancer]

I have another dance from Ultra Gypsy that we shot that night.

[@alievanom]

Cat Colón Thanks!

[@dancerbranka]

@dancerbranka OMG you filmed this severals times, right? :))) CAuse, as a said in my previous comment, at 1:56 Jill loses her right zills, and from then on sometimes she has them, and sometimes she doesn't.(with: 2:15, 2:23, 2:33, 3:30... without 1:58, 2:00, 2:25, 2:40, 3:45...) That means only one thing, that this video was filmed at least two times and then mixed into one :)))

[@wheresra]

I can't without her tattoo! where is she?

[@thejupiter2574]

@TaiChiDancer Questions? WHAT is Tribal Fusion Dancing? Is this music and the dancing suppose to be representative of Eastern E U Gypsy dancing or Middle Eastern influence??

[@Kshni]

A fusion of different styles adjusted to work together as a new style (Tribal Fusion). The music is also a fusion of various musical sounds and traditions.

[@thejupiter2574]

then very eclectic in other words mixture of old n new Anyway, it's all quite impressive

[@TaiChiDancer]

@desertgypsy Agreed!

[@ojuanimelli]

can someone give the names of the dancers in the front row? please.

[@oleander89]

I love 1:32 - 1:36 !

[@oleander89]

where can I find the music???????

[@zack007]

What is the name of this song??

[@dancerbranka]

@NiennaSimbelmyne me too :)))

[@jtho21]

They're playing triplets - RLR on each beat.

[@alievanom]

Can you help me with the date of this video? thanks

[@catcolon1033]

2001, in the introduction along with production details :)

[@jtho21]

@Randall82760 - Rachel is in her late 30s now, so that would put her in her late 20s for this performance.

[@susanmorin9619]

Ultra gypsy...wow. who teaches in L.A?

[@LuxarMoon]

[@TaiChiDancer]

I was the director.
