Asia’s Tribal Prince, Hilton is back!
Hilton has been bellydancing for 7 years since year 2005. He started Cabaret Style in the first 2 years and he was captured and blown away by Tribal Fusion Style after watching a video from youtube. Then, Hilton started to do research and studies on his own as there is no instructor giving Tribal Fusion Style lesson at particular period. Hilton has his own style and personality in performance and choreography where he fuses a lot of element in his own dancing with Tribal Fusion bellydance like Jazz, Broadway, Visual Kei and Theatrical. He took workshops and classes from bellydance master; Sharon Kihara, Ariellah and Samantha Emanuel, etc.
Hilton is continuing his passion as a Tribal Fusion Bellydance artist, performer and choreographer. He conducts workshops, weekly classes, weeklong intensive training and private classes with the objective of spreading the art form through performances and teaching.
Hilton has been teaching Tribal Fusion Bellydance for the past 4 years in studios and festivals and currently tour around South East Asia to promote the art form. Hilton teaches a 2 weeklong intensive training in Singapore last year and getting a huge positive feedback from the participants. Besides, he is also teaches workshops and classes in Kuala Lumpur area when there is a request.

Workshops by Hilton
American Tribal Style (also known as ATS)
The root of Tribal Style (eg: tribal fusion, hip hop fusion, improvisation tribal style, east coast tribal) is American Tribal Style. In details, American Tribal Style is a style that combines the movement of Classical Egyptian Dance, the Hands Positioning of Spanish Flamenco and a heavy influence styling in Classical Indian Dance. In this format, participants will learn the basic hand positioning, posture which is essential in all tribal style.
Besides, the fun part in ATS is based on improvisation instead of choreography. Participants will learn a list of ATS vocabulary or group of movements that will be used in dancing and it is fully based on the cues and transitions. For example, a hand positioning or an eye contact from the leader, the follower will know what to do next. In conclusion, ATS is like a language.
At first we learn vocabulary, then we form basic sentence. After we have learnt a list of movement or vocabulary, we learn how to write an essay (improvisational dance based on the groups of movement we learnt). ATS is a non verbal language. In all around the world, those who mention themselves as FCBD-ATS, then we can communicate with them easily through this format, therefore language will no longer be an obstacle in communication.
