Many travels, dance styles and adventures later, she has finally found her true dance home here in the Bay Area tribal fusion belly dance community. She is very grateful to Amar and everyone in the Underground Nomads community for extending such a warm welcome to her and to all dancers, and for being an invaluable part of her journey in exploring this art form. She is thrilled to have an opportunity to host one of the magical Nomads parties!

Her love of dance has inspired her to create without boundaries, while striving to gift audiences with original presentations, through her often improvisational performances. Inspired by her travels, studies of music, culture and dance ; she presents a  blend of old and new school movements for a style all her own.

She also directs her own troupe Hip Logic who perform both classic and fusion styles of belly dance around the Bay Area.

Dance has been a constant in Isabel’s Life even at 9 months pregnant which you will be able to witness.

Tina’s passion for music, culture and athletic movement started at a young age which later culminated in an unrelenting desire to study dance.  Ultimately, her passion led her to bellydance where she has focused her training for over a decade. Under the guidance and training of Suhaila Salimpour and the Salimpour School since 2006, she has refined her skills and continues to perform throughout the bay area as a soloist and has also had the amazing opportunity to tour nationally and internationally as a member of Bal Anat and the Suhaila Dance Company.

We kick off Roots & Ritual on 2nd Tuesdays for a 3 month series (we may continue into 2018). On 3rd Tuesdays, Peep Show (Drag, Burlesque, Variety show formerly 3rd Wednesdays at Codeword) has taken over the Underground Nomads stage. We will be kicking off our Dark Fusion theme “Conjure” on 4th Tuesdays in November, December and January – curated by Ariellah.

With our new scheduling format, nothing has changed for the early part of the night, except we will be transitioning to starting our performances a few minutes earlier. So plan on coming by 9pm for the first set in the coming months (Each week’s Show Times will be posted in the weekly update). Following the show, F8, will be taking over with a new late-night club called VS. All are welcome to stay, and if you all are wanting to continue listening to the signature Underground Nomads global beats into the late night, we’ll move it to the back room for an intimate party.
